I just got my copy of QRL Electronics and on the back is a picture of the radio I really like the looks of the IC-706MKIIG , now to me that is a radio, I am looking in the far future to this radio or its newer version, but living in a antenna controlled area CCR"S what kind of Vertical antenna can be used to cover the Frequencys on this radio. I would have to hide it.

KB,

Verticle Antennas that would work with it:

COMET/Maldol HVU-8, - 2,6,10,15,20,40,80 & 70cm

CUSHCRAFT ~ R60006, - 10,12,15,17,20 Meters
CUSHCRAFT ~ R8, - 2,6,10,12,17,20,30,40 Meters
CUSHCRAFT ~ MA6V, - 6,10,12,15,17,20 Meters

DIAMOND ~ VHF/UHF CP6A, - 6,10,15,20,40,75 Meters

OUTBacker ~ Outreach 500, - 6M to 160 + WARC 12' Tall Handles 600 watts. Easy to use and HIDE!!!!!!

And a Very Good Antenna when you are in an Area that HATES ANTENNAS and need to use the STEALTH MODE for operating with good performance.

And Get the ALPHA DELTA OUTPOST Setup for it and you are set to go.

You are Very Welcome, and knowing your Setup and Antenna restriction's in your area the Outbacker would be something for you to take a serious look at.

I use a Yaesu FT 920 for HF work. It is my favorite of all the HF radios I've ever owned. I use a Ten Tec transverter with the 920 for all-mode two meter work, and a VX 5 Yaesu HT.

My favorite band is 75 meters, where I run a President Grant Classic with a Daiwa CB to HF transverter to allow me to impart plenty of good 'ol AM audio on 3.763 Mc. Folks never believe me when I tell them that I am talking on a CB / Transverter combo, so I just enable the "roger beep" to convince them - Heh, heh!
