[ICOM] re: 706mk2g & digimode

[John Hart]

Hello Hart,

I have been running Digipan and MixW software for several years with the 
Icom 706MKIIG with no problems.  You might check to see if the 706 has any 
off-sets in the programming for the transmitter/receiver.  Some of the 
digital software programs are equipped with an AFC Lock to keep your 
transmit and receiver frequency locked together.

The Digital Modes are a lot of fun with the Icom 706MKIIG, but don't forget 
to back down your power to about 50 % due to the duty cycle of these modes.  
It will over heat your finals if you get too long winded on the keyboard or 
as I frequently do send long messages.

Good Luck,

John Hart, K3KWO
