Works great, but I've gotta say that if you need a base rig and are willing to spend that kinda money, spend a little more and go with the bigger rig.  THe 746pro for example isn't extremely expensive and blows away the 706 even if you're not a "serious operator" or a very "picky" one.  Some other fine rigs I've used in the past couple years are the FT-847 and Currently the TS-2000 and 746Pro.  The 706 will work great, but for the money those bigger rigs are much more fun.

Hey, don't forget the 718.  I've got one of them and once I find another 
way to get 10m FM, 6m, 2m, and 70cm all-mode in the shack I'll move the 
706 back in to the Jeep.  I just don't have the bucks to spend on 
another rig so the 706 is my base rig and I've got a 207H and an HTX-100 
in the Jeep.
