[ICOM] True or False?

[John Fleming]

Maybe the confusion involved thinking of the 7800 instead of the 706 series? 
The unaware might think of the 7800 as only a color version of the 706, 
but...

Hi Warren,

No, it is totally untrue.  All variants of the IC-706 were conventional
analogue radios with crystal filters. The only DSP was the UT-106 add-on
module, which was an audio DSP offering NR and ANF (auto-notch).

The sheer depths to which ignorance can plumb leave me utterly confounded!

Cheers for now, 73,

Hello Icom Reflector:
                            I was listening to a 2 Meter qso last night
where the Icom 706 and it's 3 versions were the topic of discussion. There
is the plain 706, the 706 Mk2, and the 706 Mk2G.  One thing said was that
the 706 Mk2 was essentially the same as a 746Pro, same DSP engine, same
features...Is that true?
