[TenTec] RE: Pegasus, Jupiter or ICOM 706 MKII G?

FWIW - we had a loaner Pegasus (and now have a new one) replacing an 
IC-706 as the PARC station HF rig. Our plan is to make this remotely 
accessible, a task that the IC-706 wasn't going to fulfill easily (see URL 
below for details).  We found an excellent price on a Pegasus from a post 
in this forum including a base mic and tuner. Sure beats eBay !  We did a 
deal with the local club to allow them to place the IC-706 as part of 
building an HF station at the County EOC. 

So, though the IC-706 (and descendants) are nice, hot (literally) mobile 
rigs, we find the Pegasus is VFB indeed as an HF station rig.
