My 706 has worked great for 2 or 3 years, however, my mkiiG has some problems.
1) my ssb power is only 30 watts on 20-160 meters. (AM power and rtty Power is
ok)

A friend of mine has one that dropped power. Was a loose solder
connection. But forgot exactly where...I'd have to ask him.

2) SWR and Power Meters seem to be reversed on 20-160 meters.
I use an external tuner to verify this.
3) 440 does not seem to receive.
4) Local service people (Avvid) does not work on the G model

Hummm. I thought Cliff worked on those....Guess not. My friend took
his over to Houston amateur supply or whatever they call it. Spring
TX. "George is the tech" He seemed to be able to fix it..

5) Guess it will have to go back to Icom for alignment at $75 / hour

That would be my first choice. Probably costs more, but I like the
idea of the factory working on it. "Mods updates, overall tech
quality, etc.."
I've got a 706mk2g, but no real problems so far after 2.5 years or so,
and that radio is on 24/7 nearly. It's my main casual listening radio.
I've got it on AM-740 right now as I type. :/ MK
