Hello Jim: I also have 2 G-76 rigs but only have one in use. It seems to work fine for me on Six Meters, dont recall any problems. If I remember correctly, it was putting out about 25 Watts. I run mine conservativly though (easier on the final) and adjust modulation accordingly. As you must know, a good low pass filter is in order to help prevent TVI from harmonics of the 8.4 MHz rock. I think my 6 Meter sensitivity was around 6-7 uV for 10 db S/N Ratio. Not very hot but should be OK for local stuff and band openings.
Look for you on 50.4, which I monitor anytime I am in the shack. 73 es Good Luck.. Charlie, K0NG .
