I have not owned the PRO, but did own the original 746 in addition to all
the 756's- have the 756PRO III now. They are all deaf below 500KHz because
of the HPF Icom switches in when tuning MW and lower. I seem to recall the
PRO's (756) also have an attenuator that is automatically switched in around
1.5MHz. I use a Palomar LF converter on the RX only port for LF reception on
the PRO III.


- That's a showstopper for me if it can't be fixed.
- Is there a published mod to un-cripple performance below 1500 KHz?
