[HCARC] 6M thru 70cm

[galeheise at windstream.net]

Bill-

  Pete has been in the hobby quite a while and has had a lot of good service 
with ICOM.

  I have the Yaesu 857D  that is good for mobile operation and also handles 
160 thru 70 cm.  I checked on HRO and it runs about $820.  It may not be in 
the league of the ICOM-7000 but if money is an issue you might want to put 
it on your list of rigs to check out.  The nice thing about the 706MkIIG and 
the 857D is that you can put some disconnect power connectors on the cables 
relatively easily move it from mobile to your base station.

Bill,

You should take a look at the ICOM IC-7000 or it's predecessor the 
IC-706MkIIG (but not the older 706MKII or IC706 which don't do 70 cm)
They do 6, 2 & 70cm [CW, SSB and FM] as well as 160-10 HF.  They're compact 
and can be used mobile or at home (I've done both with my 706IIG).

The 7000 is current production and the 706MkIIG was in production until just 
a year or so ago.  I've had good luck with all my ICOMS and their North 
American service center has taken good care of me.

The 7000 is not horribly expensive (new $1280 at Universal Radio in Ohio) 
and both have appeared on used lists at various dealers.  You can probably 
find them on auction sites also but "you pays yer money and takes yer 
chances".


Hope this helps.

To all:

At the present time, I don't have a radio that covers these bands (6M thru
70cm). Can anyone offer suggestions on the best way to accomplish covering
6M, 2M and 70cm in particular in an economical way? Is there any activity
on 1.25M?

Any advice is welcome.

73 and thanks
