The IC775 doesn't have "two receivers" (with separate front ends) like some other models. Thus putting the second VFO on a separate band will give poor (or no) sensitivity on that band. 73, de Hans,
I've had both, and for contesting I'd stay with the 980. The 706, although it has other advantages (portable, etc.), will be disappointing in a contesting environment after using a 980. 73, de Hans,

One of the common objections (maybe the most common) to remote operation seems to be the "unfairness" of it. I'm struggling to understand that objection. For purposes of exploration of this objectio
I think most of us "grumpy old men" (is Sophia Loren around here somewhere?) would agree with that. Is the "unlimited" category a stifling place? 73, de Hans, K0HB/W7 "Just a boy and his radios" ___
