[Antennas] receiver overload on 706

[Lefczik, Larry D]

I believe there was a rule of thumb for separating the HF from 2 meter
antenna of 4 feet.  Check old archives ~1999 on the ICOM reflector.  May
also be noted at www.icomamerica.com FAQs (if they still exist).  I think
the big problem was 6 Meters t 100 Watts FM burning out a transistor in the
2 Meter front end.
