KV5R: Icom IC-706MkIIG Mods and Tips
Left: Another idea for control head placement.
Right: The radio, and major bird nest, is located under the desk, out of the way. Power supply and
computer interface under there, too. Mounting rear-down enhances cooling and prevents cable strain.
Also, it’s less than 3 feet from the ground rod!
Frequency Expansion
NOTE: The author does NOT advocate any illegal operation. It is YOUR responsibility to stay within your
authorized bands. NOTE: This is for the MkIIG ONLY. Earlier models use an entirely different procedure.
NOTE: This procedure WILL RESET the radio to a factory-new condition. All memories and settings will
be cleared.
This modification will allow the MkIIG to transmit on most of the frequencies that it receives on.
