IC-746 FAQ
2.18 I thought the LCD was blue, but photos show it as green?
The screen is blue. The green color that shows up in many photos is caused by the camera
flash, sort of an optical illusion. Non-flash photos always show the screen as blue.
For an example, see N4WMX's 746 non-pro at:

2.19 Can the IC-746 work on the 60m band?
2.20 Can the IC-746 work on the Alaska Emergency Frequency?
Yes, no, no, and yes. To both questions.
For the purposes of our discussion, the Alaska Emergency Frequency of 5.1675 MHz USB
can be treated as part of the 60m band.
Yes, the IC-746 can receive the 60m band, and does so quite nicely.
No, as shipped, the IC-746 will not transmit on the 60m band.
No, there is no 60m specific mod to the rig.
Yes, there is an all-band mod that will allow the IC-746 to transmit on the 60m band. See:
http://www.mods.dk/
Of course, once you've opened up ALL of the bands this way, appropriate caution is dictated.
The IC-756 (original, not the pro) has a very similar design to the IC-746. Some IC-756
users report an output power dropoff near 5 MHz, presumably due to the output band pass
filters. Anonymous reports indicate that the 746 does not suffer the same problem. I do not
have any data on the 746-PRO.
