Gordon, I use a Hustler vertical with the low and high power resonators. I  
use a IC-706 MK2G, AT-7000 auto tuner and a BuxCom, 1 to 3 balun. I have a  
separate mag mount, 5/8 wave for 2 & 440. I have a hands free set up with  
the control head mounted on the handlebars with a Lido mount. I can work 160

 meters to 440. Willy K3VW

Willy,
Interesting!  Motorcycle mobile!  Pretty  wild!  Is that in motion?  What
antenna(s) do you  use?

Thanks & 73,

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
