Are there electronic copies of 746 service manuals?

No such copies are known to exist, although they would quickly become popular if they did.
As of May 2001, Icom had no plans for releasing one. Additionally, Icom considers any
such external productions to be a violation of their copyright. Ray (the product manager at
the 2001 Hamvention) was very firm on this.
Hard copies are available through any Icom retailer as well as through the W7FG Vintage
Manual WWW site at:

When trying to read the PDF version of a 746 Instruction Manual with the Adobe Acrobat
Reader, some people encounter the following three dialogs on page 10 of the document (PDF
page 12).
A font required for font substitution is missing.
An error has occurred that may be fixed by installing the latest version of the Japanese
Language Support package.
Unable to find or create font "Ryumin-Light-Identity-H". Some characters may not
display or print correctly.
The error is not fatal. There are about dozen places in the manual where text in diagrams
will show up as a series of dots.
You can get rid of the error by downloading the appropriate Asian font package directly from
Adobe's support pages. As of November 2001, the appropriate link was:

How does an IC-746s differ from an IC-746?

Japan has a 3rd Class license that is power limited (sort of like the defunct US Novice class).
The IC-746s is identical to the IC-746, except that it caters to this limited operating class. It's
output power is limited to 10w on HF and 20w on VHF.
Nobody has yet reported a "mod" for this rig to bring its power up.
