[ICOM] RE: best receiver

[Adam Farson]

Hi Hart,

You will be better off upgrading your transceiver (perhaps by trading up
from the 706.) A general-purpose receiver is not necessarily optimised for
the amateur bands. A transceiver will also eliminate the need for an
external transmit/receive relay, which is required when using a separate
transmitter and receiver.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

I'm looking to buy a good Icom receiver such as the R5000. What would you
recommend?
I will be using it to increase my RX along with my 706mkIIg rig as a base
setup.
