On Sherwood's table the Icom 706MKIIG has better dynamic range than the Yaesu
FT1000MP, FT1000D, and FT1000MP MKv, and better than the Icom 781. I think you
will find few contesters who agree that the MKIIG is a better contesting
receiver than those other radios. There must be more to the story than just
close in dynamic range, or something.
