[ICOM] 706 to HF and 6 meters

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

You can use an HF/6m diplexer to feed
separate antennas from a common feed
(such as IC-706 Mk II) or feed a duoband
HF/6m antenna from separate HF and 6m
transceivers.  The device doesn't know
the difference!

Good luck, Jim.

I wondered about he "duplexers" being bi-directional.  So I just need to
find one that splits HF and 6 meters to two separate connectors.

Thanks, Jim
