*****SPAM***** Re: [ICOM] IC-706 Set Mode Problem

John,

Out of the 3 - 706 versions I do not remember much trouble like you are 
reporting. Good idea to have a look at the connectors, those ribbons 
have been known to sometimes work their way out. The rig is not smart 
enough to know there is not a filter installed, in the event the filter 
itself was open and not allowing the setting to be enabled.
