Have them both. Been using them on my  motorcycle. The IC-7000 is the 
better 
radio with the AB5N mod on the mic.  Willy K3VW

Hi   Folks!

Let me spin the question of whether to buy an IC-7000 a bit  and  ask if you
had both an IC-7000 and an IC-706 MKIIG for your Go  Kit or your  mobile,
which radio would go where?

Let me qualify  the question with  the following background information:

The  mobile station has additional  separate Alinco radios for FM on 144,  
222
and 440, and mounting the  additional ICOM rig prominently and  safely is no
problem. There are plenty  of antennas (screwdrivers,  HF/VHF/UHF whips and
halos for 50/144/432 MHz)  for whichever ICOM  radio ends up in the mobile.

The Go Kit has  provisions for  separate/additional 2M FM and Packet using a
Alinco DR-135  with  internal packet modem and there is a West Mountain 
Radio
RigBlaster   Plug N Play for whichever ICOM rig ends up in the Go Kit. There
is a  LDG  AT-100Pro tuner, speakers, headset and power distribution all  
set
up in the  Go Box. I am going to build an adapter to allow the use  of the
factory  microphone or the headset while maintaining the use of  the
microphone  buttons if the headset is in use. 

The Go Kit  currently has the IC-7000  in it, but has been mounted in the
truck  before, so mounts and cabling are  not an issue. 

I am active in  both EMCOMM work and Scouting where these  stations get
constant use  and exposure to others. 

So given this,  what would you  do?

Thanks & 73,

Gordon Beattie,   W2TTT
