I recently acquired an IC 730 (a good friend gracioucly gave it to me to play with...). I thought it was very strange that the radio had the WARC bands, but no Xmit... 

A careful inspection of the manual (page 23, Section 7-2, RF UNIT) revealed that if you cut a small (green) wire on the RF UNIT, you would get xmit capability on the WARC bands. 

I did cut the wire, and now the rig transmits normally on the 10, 18 and 24.5 MHz bands. No one I told about this mod knew about it, so I send it to you...
