[Icom] 706MKIIG v FT100

Sat, 12 Jul 2003 13:15:18 -0700 (PDT)

The FT857 also had terrible receive numbers, but QST
kind of sidestepped that.  Of course the FT100D has
better receive numbers than the "Brand Y" 706MKIIG,
and a better NB also.  QST even cited the NB for
special praise, and it works as they state.  That can
be pretty important for mobile operations.
