Hi Clemens,

Thanks for your mail.

which I pointed you to in Jan/2017.
What would you consider as "real confirmation" if not his work?


..as web sites seem to contradict the answers

Which web sites are you specifically referring to?

On mods.dk youi'll find the answer how to open the TX.
Make sure you choose your 706 model,because the PCB layouts differ between
the first IC-706 and later models (MKx).
It's only about removing one or two diodes.

Subject: LF: Icom IC-706 Tx on 477kHz

Hi all,

I have asked this question early in 2017 & I now hope to find 
some real 
confirmation as web sites seem to contradict the answers. I 
did receive 
one reply & some details at that time.

I now have an Icom IC-706 (not Mk2 or Mk3) & would like to modify it 
toTx on MF 477kHz.

Is there someone out there who has carried out this mod & can confirm 
and/or advise that it can be done (or otherwise).

Thanks for reading.

73 Gary - G4WGT.
