ok that would be an exception to the rule. I guess you would want to use
stand by isolated batteris as to not drain the main battery from starting
the car.
The 706 mk 2 G works great with a pre-amp and at a low voltage. My amps
might clip out down there. Ie charge the batts before leaving. I
considered switching to an 857 or ft 100 so maybe I wont. My dad had
problems with his ft 100 too.
Im a yaesu man and it sounds more like theres a case to avoid the ft 100.
