Midland 79-290 with modifications

I have 1 of those icoms, and like it a lot. Don't use it that much though. It doesn't cover 220, you are right. I'll save you the time Zoomtext takes to get to the bottom... I'd get a 706 if they had better intermod rejection. One guy that has one has to go to the input to hear me when he gets close to me. The BMF tower I have for a neighbor kills most radios. I've had to sell all my Radio Shack stuff. I can't hear anything. An IC-2100 works good here. I still want 6 meters! Oh well, I'll have a killer 10 meter setup when CW goes bye-bye. Those last two tests are easy.

By the way, does a combo radio exist with cb/ssb/weather/shortwave/frs and a mod to listen to 10 meter? I don't have a ham radio license but I enjoy listening. That radio is called an IC-706MKIIG. With the mod, it covers everything, has 100 watts on HF, and will do 49MHz, MURS and FRS. I think it misses 220 though. With a tech ticket, you could cover a lot of ground with that one. |
