[Icom] 706 MkII or TS-50 for Mobile HF?

[W3UIO]

Hi John,

My son has a TS-50, and I've got a MKII (not G). They
are both great radios.

The TS-50 is easier to operate, but the 706 is not
really that hard to learn. It has been some time since
the TS-50 was introduced, but it is still hard to beat
as a quality radio.

My personal preference is the 706, because of the
removable front. Either one will be a fine rig.

Larry, W3UIO
