Hello - I have a 706 MKIIG used as a backup rig for my 756Pro III. In 
general the 706 is easy to use, but I have been unable to make an external 
speaker work from either the front or the rear speaker connectors. I have 
tried the "Phono - Speaker" switch on the rear of the front panel in both 
positions without success. The front panel connector works fine with 
headphones. When I plug in an external speaker into either connector, the 
internal speaker shuts off as expected. The external speaker is an Icom 
SP-20 which works OK in all modes from all ports; it is used regularly with 
the Pro III and a 2 meter rig. Does anyone have any idea as to why I 
cannot get external speaker output with the 706? 

I recently purchased the Pro III. I have a low mileage mint 756Pro II for 
sale and will accept a reasonable offer if anyone is interested. 

Thanks in advance, 

Charles k4ywa
