[Icom] IC-910H

Hi,

I have the 706, 746 PRO and the 910.=20

I think the question of what to put on 2 meters SSB really depends on =
what
you want to do with that capability Vs the money outlay. If you want the
very best single integrated package, then the 910 is hard to beat. But =
you
are paying for a lot of capability that apparently won't be used. My 910 =
is
targeted to satcom.

The 746 Pro is an excellent radio. I have used it on VHF and have no
complaints. But again, you are paying a lot for what won't be used since =
it
duplicates what you already have.

The 706 is a very good radio for what it is designed to be. It is not a =
high
end 2 meter SSB rig and again you would be duplicating existing =
capability.

If all you want is 2 meter SSB from home, you might want to talk with =
some
of the VHF SSB experts to see if a transverter setup based on the 756 =
might
not be the way to go. You could use say 10 meters as the base band and =
then
up and down convert to and from 2 meters. Amplification can be dealt =
with
separately.

Would like pros/cons regarding this unit.  Have  756 Pro and looking to =
put
something on 2SSB.  Either the 910 or another 706IIg.  The other 706 is
mobile.
