[ICOM] Backup ICOM Radio

[n5wv at eastex.net]

Im sure this is an old question but does anyone have any input on how the IC-7000 stacks up against the IC-
706G ? I have been off the reflector for a couple of years and may have missed some comments.  Randy N5WV

 No sequence intended.  But I did own the ProIII, 765, 7000, and 7800 
simultaneously.
