Icom 706

In the last weeks, I've bought an old ICOM 706 (Mark 1) for use in /P as an alternative to Yaesu FT-817. Ok, really I was in search of a 703 but....not found!

Thus radio is not very expensive (most hams prefer Mark II) but seems interesting.

The seller have no mic, and I soon arrange a cable for use the HM-36.

The cable is OK, and I've tryied the radio with LDG Z-100 and 9/1 longwire antenna at 10W of power, QSO with many EU and Azores.
