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

[MB]

HF/50Mhz with optional modules for 144-440-1200MHz.

OR, two versions, one HF/6meters, the other with added 144/440.

One other thing....it should have Dual Watch similar to 756pro3...it is 
time for a mobile rig to be able to listen to two
different frequencies at the same time within a band or cross band.

Maybe the Kenwood 480 does this??
