[Icom] receiver overload on 706

[Rick Robinson]

First things first. Which model do you have? If it the first version
then give it all the room you can. The first ones had problems with
overload. If it is a MKII or G model then I feel the problem has been
corrected. I have had both the MKII and G model and have vhf antennas
mounted within 2-3 feet of my HF ant.(webster bandspanner) and never
once had a problem from either direction as my V/Uhf side runs 150Watts
plus.
