Don't have numbers for the IC-746, but a friend OM that owns one
tells me that it is deaf as a doorknob on the LF band.

I looked at the block diagram of my IC-746.  It shows an attenuator that is
switched in for Band 0 which is .03 to 1.6mhz.  Further down the line, it
shows another attenuator which is not switched.  I then looked at the
schematic for the RF unit and found the HF RX line.  It comes to a relay
that switches a 390 ohm resistor in and out.  Further down is a what
appears to be a pi attenuator composed of 2 100 ohm and 1 68 ohm resistors.
The pi attenuator would figure to be 10db but I have no idea what the 390
ohm resistor offers for attenuation.
Am I looking at this correct?  Any and all help accepted and appreciated.
