[Yaesu] FT-100D vs. IC-706MKIIG

[rob@gallagher.net]

I just went through this decision.  I picked the
FT-100D for two reasons.  One is it comes with a 500Hz
CW filter installed.  That is another $100 for the ICOM
also it has a DTMF mic with it.  

Also, it can use the ATAS-120 screwdriver without a
control box which is good for the mobile in my opinion.

BTW, Gigaparts will match any price and include
shipping on any order over $200.  So I got both the
ft-100d and seperation kit devliered for $779.  Pretty
good I thought.  I don't work for them, just a happy
customer.

Good Luck,

Rob
