Hi all

Recently I bought a IC-7400 (aka IC-746Pro) #08 Italy version,
and now I want to change it to the European Version.

After I removed the covers (plus sub DSP unit) I found
the follwing

W1602 1 1
W1601 1 1
W1609 0 0
W1608 1 0 I already removed
W1607 0 0
W1606 1 0 I already removed
W1605 0 0
W1604 1 0 I already removed
W1603 0 0
W1610 1 1

According to http://www.kb2ljj.com/data/icom/ic-746pro.htm
web page:

IC-746PRO(#02USA)

W1602 1 1
W1601 1 1
W1609 0 0
W1608 0 0
W1607 0 0
W1606 0 0
W1605 1 1
W1604 1 0 Removed
W1603 1 0 Removed
W1610 1 1

IC-746PRO(#03 EUR)

W1602 1 1
W1601 1 1
W1609 1 0 Removed
W1608 1 0 Removed
W1607 0 0
W1606 1 0 Removed
W1605 1 1
W1604 1 0 Removed
W1603 0 0
W1610 1 1

So, my radio is now as USA/EUR versions except the W1605,
who is OFF (USA/EUR version is ON).
Looking at the schematics, that line is TXF2.
My question: is there a problem to leave it OFF? Or it's advisable
to connect it?

Last, but not least, all mods I found about exteded Rx/Tx didn't
mention W1600 (DLTX line), but as I can see on the photos, it's
removed on USA version. My radio still have it. Should I remove
it too, or just forget it?

Thanks in advance for your reply/help.
