Welcome to the IC-746 FAQ.
Short Answer
FAQ stands for "Frequently Asked Questions". It tries to cover common questions,
problems, and issues associated with Icom's IC-746 HF/VHF amateur radio transceiver.
The master copy is kept at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IC746/files/IC746-faq.pdf
Mirrored copies (after a short delay) appear at:
http://www.qsl.net/kb9sss/IC-746/IC746-faq.pdf
http://www.skysdaughter.com/icom746-faq.pdf
You do not need a Yahoo email account to access the master copy, however, you will need a
logon account. Yes, that is a subtle but hopefully minor distinction. Not everyone is willing
to have a login account at Yahoo (even if it is free), which is one of several reasons for
maintaining the mirror sites.
Also, we post the FAQ monthly to:
news:rec.radio.amateur.equipment
usually sometime between the 1st and the 10th.
You can post questions/comments about the FAQ to the above newsgroup.
Long Answer
The format of this FAQ should become apparent right from the start. Questions are grouped
into related sections and subsections, roughly in the form of an outline.
When possible/practical, there will be both a short and long answer. The short answers will
try to be brief and to the point, typically about one paragraph. While correct, quick, and
immediate, it will often gloss over subtleties and details. The long answers will cover theory,
alternatives, dissenting opinions, and other supplemental material. We try not to
unnecessarily duplicate information between the answers (this one is an example of that).
Long answers may go on for several pages.
The questions that are addressed here (as well as the answers) come from several sources.
This FAQ was originally created and hosted by folks on a Yahoo e-mail discussion group at:
