Why, yes it is! I keep the 6 meter rig in the living room, and like all the other ham gear... is left turned on and the volume up so as to just hear noise from the speaker. It does pay off from time

Well, I used an Icom 7000 during last January's sweeps. On two meters ONLY. It is a VAST improvement over the 706 Mk 2 G, at least in terms of RX performance. Sensetivity, selectivity, are right up t

The tram concept seems pretty cool... I suppose a reasonably heavy duty three horizontal leg thing on the ground with your pipe sticking straight up would do the trick... then pre size your guy lines

I would NEVER use an Icom 706 Mk2G in a rover or even a multiop environment. The radio simply generates too much broadband garbage beyond where it is transmitting. I was using one and discovered the

I have no experience with the '820 or '821, but have uses the '706MkIIG. If these were your only choices, I would stick with the '271/'471 pair, they posess much better dynamic range than the '706. T

Interesting to note that the ETDXA and SVHFG sprints and the CQ WW VHF tests use the "old" rover rules AND allow for repeated APRS... Not much "captive grid packing" going on here... Or, go back to t

Having read all that has been replied publicly, Yes, definitely, if you are stuck on using the "bury-flex" cable. If at all possible, score some surplus hardline, or consider putting the PA as well
