My friend, you are the lucky one that it works out of the box.
This reflector is for those that are not so fortunate and need help to
solve the problems that arise.

Subject: [Icom] NO RF problems 706MKIIG

	I do not use toroids and have never had problems with RF with my
706 
MKIIG. The main unit is mounted over the hump (not grounded) in front of

the rear seat with the cable running to the control unit which is
mounted 
behind the steering wheel on the column. The vehicle is a Jeep Cherokee.

The 20 meter antenna is a modified Hustler mounted in the center of the 
roof using a four foot mag mount. A 40 meter Super Hustler antenna is
also 
mounted on the mag mount frame (county hunter). The mag mount frame is 
grounded to the roof which is grounded to the auto frame. They are on 
separate coaxial cable leads and are connected to a two way switch on
the 
consol. I also use the 706 with a laptop and a RigBlaster for PSK31 and 
RTTY. Power for the unit is feed via two #8 leads connected directly to
the 
battery. I don't understand why so many people are having RF problems.
Rule 
#1, make sure separation cable screw is firmly in place on the main
unit.
