Hi John, is it a mod to get LSB and AM?, as I hear this model has normally
only USB.

I started on HF with an HTX-100 and had a ball. It was relatively cheap
and
a good place to start without breaking the bank. Since then, I have moved
on
to an all band 100 watter but still regard the HTX-100 as one that
provided
a lot of fun.

It is nice to have a new BMW but an old HQ still gets you there and a lot
lower cost.


i agree with pierre, i have an htx100 with usb, lsb and am...30w,
get`s xlent reports and the memory system, and mike mounted freq. change
makes working split freq. activations, and general dx a breeze...just my 2
bob`s worth.
cheers john

Cheers Warren, the IC706 is about $1000 dearer, that would take a lot
or
performance boost to match the price difference. I might pay a couple
of
hundred for the HTX100 as its a 30 watt unit by the looks.

G'day Trev, from what I've seen on the net , they're going 2nd hand
in
the
US for around 50 - 60 US Dollars, there's one on ebay too, in the
US,
link
below, I personally don't know what they perform like, I have had
other
Realistic products and put it this way, you only get what you pay
for,
and
sometimes not even that lol, I agree with DR RASTIS FAF00FNIK
posting
on
the
ICOM 706MKIIG except for the price difference, new from Andrews
Communications is $1399.00 AUD, and they still go for around $1200
on
ebay
at end of bidding, bloody good radio though I've had mine for about
4
years
now and very happy with it, choosing a radio depends on what your
are
using
it for and how often, and ofcourse the bloody bank account always
plays
a
big part in the decision lol , Cheers for now, Warren 43PC122
