Several years ago there was a external plugin module marketed for the 706

Not necessary for the 2g. It provides it's own tune signal.

That little module fakes a tuner being connected so the 706 series
outputs the 10 watt signal into something like a manual tuner.

The 706MKIIG will not go into tune mode without a tuner attached. Nor
will the 706MKII or the original 706.

Heck, I'll make you one for $10 + shipping. They aren't
that hard to make. As a matter of fact, I give them away to customers who
buy Carolina Cyclone antennas (screwdriver) antennas from me! I would make
'em for Kenwood TS50's but the plug is sort of funny and I can't
find any to match.

I've got 2 706's, each equipped with the little module. Works great!
