Hello All,
I've been giving a lot of thought to down sizing my VHF Contesting /
Rover station. I currently use an Icom 746 with transverters for 222
and 432, which has performed very well. But, I'm seriously considering
going to one of the "DC to daylight" mobile rigs to simplify my setup.
Now the question, which one?
I was planning to buy [probably used] an Icom 706Mk2G, or possibly an
FT100D. Going over some of the product reviews has left me wondering.
The reviews are pretty much an even split half say each rig is
wonderful, half say that each is crap... Maybe there is a better choice
out there?
I have always been an Icom fan, but some of the reviews were pretty
critical of the 706's receiver. I have nothing against Yaesu, but there
were enough reports of failures to make me wonder.
Maybe I should stick to my transverters...
I hope all of the Christians on the list have a wonderful Christmas, and
all of the others have a great holiday. There, hope that didn't offend
anyone;-)
