[ICOM] Icom IC-706 MK II G vs. IC-7000

[Bill Jourdain, AB4BJ]

The mic audio is greatly improved with the AB5N mod.  I had mine done and
get really great audio reports.

I also have mine for sale if anyone on the list is interested.  It's ad
number 666582 on QTH.com.

Some of the things you would get:

1. Multiple filter widths for each mode
2. Extra 15 watts on UHF
3. Pass band tuning
4. CW memory keyer
5. Voice keyer
6. Manual notch-Autonotchs were created by Satan hiimself
7. Somewhat usable bandscope
8. Really lousy mic audio
9. Built in TCXO
