Directly below the keypad is the tuning knob. This will
allow you to dial in the frequency you want to oper-
ate. You will notice the tuning speed [TS] is 10 Hz res-
olution. Page 22 will instruct you on how to set the
tuning speed [TS] for 1 Hz resolution.
NOTE: Although you can directly enter the fre-
quency with the keypad, using the Band Stacking
Register and the tuning knob is the most popular
method of hoping around the bands. For more in-
formation regarding the direct frequency entry
method, refer to p. 22.
You IC-746PRO has three antenna connectors. Two
for HF and 6 m and a one for 2 m. The selection for
2 m is automatic, where the HF and 6 m is user se-
lectable for either one of the antenna jacks. For first
time use, the antenna selector should show “” on
the display of your radio. Verify the antenna selected
on the display is the antenna port your antenna is
connected to.
Either “1” or “2” appears.
*No indicator appears during
144 MHz operation.
Adjust this control to a comfortable audio level.
