[Icom] IC706MKIIG FAn

Wed, 4 Jun 2003 19:23:02 -0500

It might be a good, conservative idea, but it's not necessary.  Icom rates
it at full duty cycle, in contrast to Yaesu that always says to run their
rigs at half power for RTTY.  I bought the 706 as a 2nd rig for RTTY
contesting, and one reason was a recommendation from a heavy RTTY contester
that always ran his at full power.  Besides, my amp is on the PROII!  HI
The 706MKIIG is a great RTTY rig - great for mobile RTTY too!  73
