[ICOM] 746

[Gary Fiber]

Icom, though do not remember specifically about the 746, went to a menu setting to turn on and off the filters otherwise the radio does not know they are installed. Check the set mode in the manual and there you will likely find the method for enabling filters that are installed by the filter number.
