[CW] opinions: Icom 706 Mk II G

Thu, 3 Apr 2003 17:29:29 -0800

You guys are comparing the 706 to radios that are almost 3 times the price
lets get real here.  The 706  with the optional CW filter is an o.k. rig on
CW, just get used to the relays and it will be fine.  It's a heck of a lot
more portable that the 775 thats for sure.
