The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on
your product, literature, or packaging
reminds you that in the European Union,
all electrical and electronic products,
batteries, and accumulators (rechargeable
batteries) must be taken to designated
collection locations
at the end of their working life.
Actually the way most people dispose of obsolete or broken ham gear is to take it to a hamfest and sell it Sly in the parking lot to a newbie Prop who will take it home and find out it doesn't work. Crying

Which frequency is specifically mentioned in the IC-7300MK2 manual as a location for internal spurious signals?

Answer: 9.140 MHz


Entry page https://www.gigaparts.net/sweepstakes/
The other choices are in ham bands and you would not design a ham transceiver with birdies in a ham band.

Quote :
Spurious signals may be received near the following
frequencies. These are made in the internal circuit and
does not indicate a transceiver malfunction:
