I have had one of these little jewels for a couple of years. As already mentioned, LOTS of radios are 'hard of hearing' below the BC Band.
I love connecting the VLF converter to the 756PRO.
This allows you to 'see' activity in this part of the spectrum. Sensitivity is excellent and all you can use.
Have FUN!!

Most receivers aren't very sensitive below 500 kHz or so but the Palomar (sp?) lf converter works wonders! It helps to pull in those beacons and other stations waaaayy down to 10 kHz or so! I love this little device! It does what it's supposed to do without any fuss or muss!

I own an Icom IC-756 PRO II. One of my interests is the spectrum below 500KHz. I have a 7' shielded loop with a broadband preamp- yet I was not hearing near the number of Non-Directional-Beacons with this set up as I was hearing on my lowe HF-150. Sensitivity checks showed the PRO II to be quite deaf below 500KHz.
I had an older Palomar VLF converter and hooked it up through the RX ANT port on the PRO II. Now LF is alive with signals- all over USA and S. America. Switching back and forth reveals a dramatic difference.
In order to run ARGO software effectively I needed 1 Hz accuracy- Palomar kindly sent me a manual for my converter with a written explaination showing how to add a trimmer to the oscillator to net the crystal.
Great company.
