  1. Remove the bottom cover of IC-746PRO.

  2. Remove DSP subbblock.

  3. Carefully remove two small SMD 0 ohm resistors(jumpers) W1603 and W1604, on the pictures both jumpers already removed, reset of IC-746PRO is not necessary.

TX/RX after modification: 0.1 - 0 MHz, 108 - 174 MHz.

Now you can do SWR spot & plot measurement even out of ham bands! Be carefully with transmitting out of 1,8 - 29,7 and 144-148 MHz.
