6M 50% SSB - 50% FM
2M  5% SSB 75% FM   - 20% Winlink (1200 Baud Packet)
70CM 5% ATV - 95% FM

Most Used Band  17M... My 108" Whip and AH-4 works fabulously on 17M
Seems that my SUV tunes  up perfectly on that band... For some unknown it
seems competitive with my  SteppIR MonstIR on 17M...  If the other bands
worked as well as 17M, I  doubt if I would ever leave the  truck

I am looking to collect some data (or actually educated  guesses) for an
article I am writing.  By your best estimate, what  percentage of Icom
706/MKII/MIIG owners use the HF and/or 6 meter portions of  their radio on
SSB/CW, but limit the 2 meter and 70cm side of the radio to  VHF/UHF?

73s John  NE0P

Although my (JA purchased) 706g is not used much at the present, back when  I 
had it on one of my operating positions, it worked as well (on 6 M) as  my:
 
Drake TR-6
Icom 575H
Icom 756PRO (also a JA radio)
 
In fact, it worked SO well, I sold the 575H, since it couldn't do what the  g 
could!
