[ICOM] 706 Mark II G Life Cycle???

[Adam Farson]

Hi John,

The solution adopted in the TS-480HX was rather ugly - two 100W PA units
with a splitter and combiner, and some very heavy DC primary-power cabling!

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Kenwood seems to have pulled it off with the TS480HX. 
But they put the 200 watts on the wrong band.  Should have been 100 watts on
HF and 200 watts on 6 meters :).  I am not sure that that drastic of a
revision is needed.  It seems like the 706 is doing pretty good as is.  Just
improve the NB, please.
