There has been a lot less problems with the 706 than the FT units. The
read out is better and larger audio is better and the 706 I have has been
used in a CQWWSSB contest and never missed a beat. I have seen 2 of the
897's on trips to Africa. They play ok but read out is small and
connectors are only from them. I think a 706 and AT4 would be the best.
