Hi Wolf,

Thanks you for your comments.

Are there any circuits available for this type of transverter please ?

The annoying thing is that I used to have an IC706 & sold it when I gave up 
mobile operating but before my interest in LF.

So yours is a 1st model, then that would make it a much better purchase 
option with lower price when I find one.

Probably have to sell the JRC NRD-345 receiver first.

Cheers,

Gary - G4WGT.
