[ICOM] 706 And Tigertronics?

[Jay]

I was aware of the classic not having UHF, but didn't think that would make
the connector different.  Thanks for the link - I'll check out the manual.

There are some differences. The MKIIG has UHF PTT capability so far as I
remember where the original 706 did not. It would be best to download the
original 706 manual so you can verify the connections. Likely it will work
fine.

http://www.icom.co.jp/world/support/index.htm will get you to the right
place.
