[Icom] New IC-706MIIG

[Mark]

That sounds about right to me, Buddy ... I am going to set up my AH4 for
both home and mobile use ... quick mounting, etc... but I'll be darned why I
can figure out why the AH2b is worth them bux .. at all ... after all, waaar
is waaar!  N'est-ce-pas?  (Sold my screwdriver ..getting older, don't wanna
`just nuttin') HI .. If  somebody knows, please share why the ICOM mobile
aerial is worthy of its cost ...73 .. Mark   6DX
