Having had a 706IIG for three years or so, and an 857D for about six
weeks, I come down pretty definitely on the side of the Yaesu. Strong
signal handling is considerably better, DSP and filters a *lot* better,
menu system better since you can put often-used functions on
programmable buttons. Not quite half the power consumption on RX.
The Yaesu also has a settable frequency display for use with
transverters, for what it's worth.
