[ICOM] ICOM 736 on 60 meters

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

A paper on Icom rigs that are or aren't capable of 
being put on 60 meters was authored by Larry, W0QE. 
 
The Icom IC-736 is NOT covered, so I don't know if 
that rig can be expanded to cover 60m. It all depends 
upon how the various bandpass filters are placed in 
the spectrum. 
 
That website suggests you write to Larry with any 
questions. He MAY have a definitive answer for you. 
 
You also may wish to consider contacting Icom to ask 
your question.
