[Icom] FT-100D vs. IC-706MKIIG

Hello,
	I have an ICOM 706MKII nad my friend borrowed mine to test against his 100D. He found the 706 slightly more sensitive than the 100D. He is interested in AM work. I had a QSO on AM with him and the Audio quality was quite different. The 706 was markedly better on TX than the 100 which was very raspy and almost unreadable. He has heard of this before and wanted to verify it.

I have been uite happy wit the 706 and find the panel not so cramped. Also the Mic can be run off the front panel when the separation kit is used.

Cheers De Simon, ZL1SWW.

Price only, looks like the 706 is the better deal.

I have a 706 mk-I, and I LOVE IT.  Seems the only real complaint people make
about it is that the Yaesu has a better noise blanker.

I am sure within hours you will have made up your mind.

If you do get the Yaesu, don't come here asking for help! Yaesu is off-topic
on an ICOM list.
