Icom IC-718 (IC 718 IC718) D48 to D55 Role informations

Hi, I've tested some combination of D48 to D55. I have found some interesting things ...

D52 : If present, you change your IC-718 into a IC-78.

D50 : If not present, the 160 meters band is reduced.

D54 : Full band TX (1.6 to 30 or 33 MHz (depend on D55).

D55 : if not present, extend range from 30 up to 33 MHz.

Some combinations :
