[CW] Re: opinions: Icom 706 Mk II G

[Andrew Moore]

Thanks for all the input so far on the 706.  Many people warn about the
relays.  Here are more details about how I plan to use this rig, just to
help clarify.

The radio would almost always be in the mobile.
It would be remote-mounted in the trunk, so I shouldn't even hear the relay
noise, right?
However, with relays, will I not be able to get full break-in?  I'd really
like to have it.
I would use it mostly for HF CW and VHF FM, with maybe a *little* HF SSB.
What other radios would you recommend?  I really need to have a clean and
simple
installation, so I'd prefer a remote mountable one, and VHF/HF capability in
the same
box is important.

Thanks,
