I have for sale the following accessories for the Icom 706 series of radios.  I can take paypal/check/MO, and prices include shipping in the US.  Here is what I have available:

1. Better RF tuning control-plugs into the tuner jack on the back of the radio, and sends out a 10 watt carrier when you push the tune button on the radio.  Perfect for using with a manual or autotuner.  Sells new for $32 plus shipping, I am asking $23.

2. Separation kit, including the bracket for the faceplate, and the separation cable.  Asking $40

3. Keypad that allows direct frequency entry, switching between VFOs, and split operation.  It runs on a 9 volt battery.  It is a homebrew job, but looks very nice.  The keypad plugs into the CI-V port on the 706 and uses a programmed 16F84 PIC micro-controller. It allows for direct frequency entry, and gives you the SPLIT and A/B commands, plus several other programmable features. There have been numerous upgrades to this little box, and in fact it is now available in kit form for $55. G4FEV re-housed the PC board inside the numeric keypad from an old computer keyboard! You can read all about it in these two bitmap image files:
