Operating the _Icom IC-746_ HF/VHF transceiver often presents specific technical questions, and this resource compiles a comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document in an ASCII text format. It details common inquiries and solutions related to the rig's functionality, accessories, and potential modifications. The content is structured into distinct sections addressing general information, power supplies, antennas, microphones, keyers, amplifiers, TNC integration, and optional IF filters. The FAQ provides practical guidance on topics such as configuring the internal automatic antenna tuning unit (ATU), selecting appropriate power supplies, and understanding microphone pin-outs. It also delves into advanced subjects like computer control via CI-V, wiring for PSK31 operation, and troubleshooting common issues like low S-meter readings on 2m FM or loose tuning shafts. Specific questions cover the installation of optional IF filters, comparing Inrad versus Icom filters, and optimizing filter combinations for various modes. Furthermore, the document outlines various hardware and firmware modifications, including those for increasing monitor volume, replacing LCD driver transistors, and implementing a "poor man's TCXO." It even touches upon untested modifications, such as replacing PIN diodes in the demodulator. The FAQ also lists manual errata and discrepancies, offering a robust knowledge base for IC-746 owners seeking to optimize their station or resolve operational challenges.
