[UK-CONTEST] 70cms Transceiver

[John Wilson]

Jim,

I'd wait for the ICOM 9100 which is due to hit the shops soon.  It's 
rumoured to be an upgrade on the IC 746PRO (IC 7400) covering HF to 23 
cms.  I've been very happy with my 746Pro and our contest group uses 
them on 6 and 2m with big antennas and mast head preamps without 
significant RX overload and intermod problems.  

There are Yahoo groups for the IC 746PRO and IC 9100.
