Well, Martin, I use mine in my Semi truck, getting beat up by the
Arkansas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Arizona, and California
roads all the time as I roll on delivering freight. It's never let me
down once. One comment, though, if you plan on using it while rolling,
the narrow SSB filter is almost a MUST. Makes listening through the
"tire static" (yes, it really does exist. I have proof.) much easier.

I'd appreciate any comments, pro and con, from actual users of the
IC-706MKIIG. Performance, reliability, service problems, etc.

As it's described it seems to have features I'd like and need: small size,
both HF and VHF, and a reasonable power level. Any suggestions as to other
rigs with similar features would be appreciated also.
