Hello Everybody,
            I am thinking about purchasing either an Icom IC-706MKiiG or
a Yeasu FT-100D.  I have read through the specs for both of them and
they are pretty much equal.  I will be using this radio primarily on 144
& 440 bands for voice and packet.  However, it will also be a backup to
my Icom IC-756 and for emergency communications.  I have had an IC-706
(original version) in the past and know what to expect for operation.
What are the differences, besides the nearly $100 price difference?
 
Thanks and 73,
Tim KU4IY
