ICOM IC-706MKIIG HF/6/2 METERS AND 70cm ALL MODE TRANSCEIVER

Description

Icom IC-706MKIIG HF/VHF/UHF All mode Transceiver. Looks and works excellent. Full power output and excellent receive sensitivity. Includes Microphone, manual and power cable.
The IC-706MKIIG carries on the '706' series tradition of base station performance and features in a mobile rig-sized package. Building on this legacy, frequency coverage is expanded to the 70 cm band and output power is increased for the 2 m band. A long list of enhancements, both to usability and performance, as well as added features and functions have produced the latest in the evolution of the '706' series.
Operating frequency range has been expanded to the 70 cm band. Of course, all mode operation (SSB, CW, RTTY, AM and FM) is possible and a full 100W of output power is available for HF and 6m operation; 50W for 2m and 20W for 70cm operation.
MOS-FET power amplifiers are employed at the PA unit for all HF, 6m, 2m and 70cm bands. And, a one piece aluminum, diecast chassis with a large cooling fan is employed. This combination provides stable, high quality output with low IMD and low spurious emissions even during full duty cycle and extended operation.
Backlighting of keys and switches is a great help during nighttime operation.the intensity is even adjustable!
Tone squelch operation is available in FM mode for basic signalling and quiet standby. Tone frequencies can be set independently for tone squelch (Tx/Rx) and repeater tones, and a range of 50 frequencies is available. A tone scan function is available to search for a repeater's access tone quickly and easily.

An automatic repeater function is available and repeater frequencies can be programmed via a special operation. This eliminates the need for repeater settings for 6m, 2m or 70cm repeater operation.
*Standard for USA version; programming required for others.
The individual band change key, a sub dial and quick band change capability provide simple operation. The individual band change key allows quick and easy QSY, the sub dial enhances mobile and memory operation, and the quick band change capability selects pre-set frequency bands with the last-used frequency and mode. Also, each band can store preamplifier/attenuator and tuner on/off settings.
This function sweeps ±14 steps from the displayed frequency and plots received signal strength on the function display. This function is useful not only for checking HF band conditions, but also seeking vacant frequencies during VHF or UHF FM operation.
For FM operation on the 10m or the 2m (where narrow FM is required) bands, the IC-706MKIIG has narrow FM capability that allows you to take advantage of this operating mode.
99 channels can memorize both transmit and receive frequencies separately; 6channels are for programmed scan edges; and 2 channels are for call memory for the 2m and 70cm bands. And, up to 9-character alphanumeric names can be programmed into each memory channel.
