WBFM with the ICOM: IC706MK2 and G, IC-703+
Hello The Net:
Can some one confirm that the IC-706MK2 and the 706MK2G can both handle WBFM in the 6M and 2M ham bands ?
Objective is to use this rig as an RX IF with a 2.4 GHz down converter and have enough detected BW for a Multi7 TNC to decode the 2.4 GHz sats.
As I recall the IC-703+ can not do any WBFM.
Thanks Stan, W1LE FN41sr Cape Cod

I'm afraid I can't help with the 706's, but I'm curious about the Multi7 TNC, since I don't think I've ever heard of it.
I tried a google search, and came up empty. Is there a web page somewhere describing it. Is it still available somewhere ?

Hello Ian and The Net:
TNC7Multi or TNC-7Multi is a better description for a google search
I got mine from WIMO.
Base unit is a dual speed TNC for 1K2 and 9K6 Bd with RS-232 AND USB serial ports A optional modem is available for 38.4K bd.
A little smaller than 2 packs of cigarettes

I was going to respond to this this afternoon, but I realized I'd only used WBFM to listen to FM broadcast band signals, so I waited to get home to try it. My IC-706MKIIG does will go into WFM mode in both 6 and 2 meters.
Whether that's what you need or not, I can't say.
