[ICOM] Option filter in IC-746

[Mike Brown]

Right Burt, you evidently have the filter in the second 9mhz slot. No harm 
no foul. As long as you have the settings right in the radio, and the filter 
kicks in when you push the "filter" button, don't worry. Selecting 9mhz 1 
and your receiver goes dead means that there is nothing in the 9 mhz number 
1 slot. As long as things are working fine now, don't worry about it. If you 
choose to put in another 9 mhz IF filter, you will then have to select slot 
1 in the menu system.
