Several years ago there was a external plugin module marketed for the 706
series radios that provided a 10 watt carrier output from the radio. I have not
seen them advertised lately and was wondering if they are still available

Ken-

I purchased one recently from Amateur Electronic Supply for around $20-$25.
They are made by another company, but listed under the IC-706 in their catalog
price list.

I purchased it just "to have", as I normally use the AT-180 tuner. As I
understand it, its purpose is to be able to use a non-Icom tuner.

I'm planning on getting a new 706mk2G. Any info appreciated.

Ken,

Check out the ham radio listings on eBay. Their are usually dozens for
sale at any given time.

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!
