[ICOM] I love my 706g

[Phil Krichbaum]

    I used one of the ICE 6m filters west of Denver where 5 megawatt ERP 
ch2 just blew away my 706 MKIIG  from 6 miles airline and line of sight. 
Even with that I had to use the attenuator to keep the Ch 2 audio out of 
6m.  It was better but didn't solve the problem. Unfortunately I never 
had a chance to take my PROII to my dad's QTH to see how that did. Like 
the other man said desense is a fact of life with that much in a small 
box, I have worked some good DX on 6m with the various 706 models I've 
had but I much prefer the PROII and now PROIII.
