[ICOM] 60 Mtr Operation with ICOM 746

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

If you'll check the W0QE link that Mike, KK2DOG provided

you'll see that I have already checked operation of the

original IC-746 on 60m.  I have NOT been able to get the

internal tuner to function on my antenna (450 Ohm Ladder

Line-fed, 120' center-fed dipole).  I am able to get that

antenna to tune satisfactorily with an LDG AT-200 Pro

autotuner IF I start with minimum power!
