[Icom] 706 MKIIG

Tue, 8 Apr 2003 03:35:40 -0700 (PDT)

I have owned one for 2 years now and I love it. 
Small, yet full of features.  Excellent receiver,
strong transmitter, great audio reports, easy to use. 
The band coverage (160-440 Mhz, minus 220) is also a
main feature.  I'd buy it all over again.  I now also
have a 746-Pro and would say that, aside from the DSP
capabilities of the 746, the two radios are fairly
comparable.  The prices on the 706 have come down...go
get one!
