Subject:        [Icom] 706MKII-G recive 

I installed a 706MKII-G (serial #10074) in my truck and noticed that
with 
the vehicle in motion receive signals are up and down. When stopped the 
signal is constant and strong as it should be. This even happens on two 
meter repeaters that have strong signals and the radio should hold full 
scale. I removed this radio and installed another 706MKII-G (serial
#7247) 
which held the repeaters full scale while stopped or while moving. I put

the 
radio with the problem on the bench, hooked it up, then tried to repeat
the 
problem by tapping on the transceiver and bouncing it around. It works
fine 
on the bench and I couldn't get it to duplicate the problem. So I put
the 
problem radio into another truck and once again had an up and down
receive 
signal only when the vehicle is in motion. On repeaters that should be
full 
scale, the S meter fluctuates from about an S-3 to an S-20. When stopped
it 
goes to full scale. The audio out rises and falls with the meter. The 
transmit signal does not appear to be affected. An external power meter 
(Daiwa CN-801V) and signal reports verify this. Any suggestions or
comments 
would be appreciated. Bill KG4HPM
