The ICOM 706 MkIIG. Right here, dude: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/3450.html Excellent call, Bro. Lawrence. Fannnnn-tastic radio. There's been rumors of a 706 PRO with color display but that was a year or 2 ago. Add a good external speaker and the receive audio improves IMMENSELY. Slightly increase the opening in the rubber "gasket" over the mic element, and transmit audio gets a tremendous improvement, also. Slightly, I said. Make it 1/16" total diameter. That's all. And http://www.mods.dk has some .. ahem .. interesting .. ahem .. revisions you can make to the radio. (Proceed at YOUR OWN risk.) |

Well, thanks for the suggestions, guys. I already have the 245XLT and the
VX-7R and, at this point, I think I am sold on the IC-706 for the final addition to my portable radio package. I will be selling my R75 and R71 and my Kenwood 830 real soon and replacing them with the 706 and the backpack rig - very nice setup. Thanks! "LW" wrote in message om... "Stephen M.H.
