[ICOM] I love my 706g

[KD7JYK DM09]

I've been happy with the DCI filters, they completely removed the 2m
intermodulation from a 300W 151 MHz paging system near my place in los
angeles.  I have one for 2m, the skirts are pretty steep.  I thought 80dB
within a few hundred KHz of the band edge, but looking over their spec it's
not quite that high.  Checking their site now, I see you can get a 2m unit
up to 10 poles.

These
