Ed, I agree with Fred. I had a 2100H in the truck prior to the 706, and the 2100H receive was clearer and more selective. Also the transmit on the 2100H was stronger. But as Fred said, there are sacrifices to be made for getting all the features in one small package. I still love my 706 and have no intention of going back to two radios in the truck. Bill KG4HPM
