In defence of ICOM the IC-7000 is 100% different to the IC-706MkII. Performance is another issue... Simon Brown, HB9DRV - Original Message - From: R. Kevin Stover [EMAIL PROTECTED] The IC-7000 is nothing more than a prettified 706MkII-G which has the same HF receiver as the IC-718.

Agreed, I have an ft-817 and portability is definitely it's strong suit. The receiver is lacking to say the least. But, I can put an entire station in a bag. People mix apples and oranges when comparing rigs. All that says I have not finished the K2... 73 de KU4YP Michael

] Departing list .. I think we have to compare an apple with an apple. IC7000 is capable when you see it as a mobile rig from 500k to UHF. It can no way be compared with a contest rig like K2 and K3. When coming to IC756pro3, its DSP manual notch within AGC loop is very useful when operating the rig
