[VHFcontesting] Icom 746 as contesting rig

[Dan_K9ZF]

I've been using one for about 5 years.  No complaints here.  It's logged 
several thousand Rover miles without a minutes trouble.

I generally run both 6 & 2 at 100 watts, no amps here...  I've been 
really happy with the receiver.  I'm sure there are better rigs out 
there, but for the money I don't believe you can beat it.  Around the 
southern Indiana area crowded bands are not a problem, but I've heard 
they do pretty well with an added filter.

Plus you get a great HF rig too!
