[ICOM] Query.

[Bill Marx]

The older 2 meter Icom rigs had better front ends. No intermod at all. The
more recent are not as brick wall. I only use the PAR filters.. Knocks out
everything except the 2 meter signals you want to hear.
See the reviews.

Dale, W4OP is a great guy too.
I use it on the 706 2 meter side as well.
