[CQ-Contest] IC-746PRO -- evil incarnate or not?

[Nick Fedoseev]

Hello Valeri,

TS850 is great if it is used for SO.

MO and SO2R will have problems with dirty RF output.

Does anybody know a mod to make output spectrum cleaner?

At present I do not know anything better than FT1000mp
which do not affect each other on SO2R.
