I believe that both of them are pretty good radios and each will features and
quirks that you will
either like or dislike. I have an original FT-100 with the factory mods done
under warranty. I
used the radio mobile for about 2 years or so before I removed it from the
vehicle and replaced it
with a FT-8900. The FT-100 is now in a portable (ARES/RACES/Skywarn)

I'm partial to the FT-100 but wouldn't take anything away from the 706 other
than I understand
that ICOM stands for I can only monitor.
