[ICOM] Option filter in IC-746

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Glad this exchange came about.  It prodded me
to finally install the 1.9 kHz and 350 Hz filters
in my 746.  I stuck a UT-102 voice unit in, but
I have the same situation with very low volume
from it that I have with my 703; so low that it
can't be heard over ambient band noise.

The filters work quite nicely and I have learned
how to set bandwidth in other modes as well.

Thanks, Bill!

After you "set up" the filter in the main menu #'s 4 or 5.
Set the 746 to CW or RTTY.

Press and hold the filter button. (bring up a filter menu)
Press the filter button again (you will see the -N =  narrow)
Press F2 to scroll through the installed filter options.

Also don't forget the 746 must be in CW/RTTY mode
to use/select the filter.

You can use the FL-100 in SSB, just tell the 746 that
the FL-223 is installed in the set up menu.  The 746
doesn't know the difference.
