ICOM 706


According to a matrix on rigpix.com

IC-706 10-160 m + WARC/6 m/2 m All-mode 100/100/10 W RX: 30 KHz-200 MHz

IC-706MKII 10-160 m + WARC/6 m/2 m All-mode 100/100/20 W RX: 30 KHz-200 MHz

IC-706MKIIG 10-160 m + WARC/6 m/2 m/70 cm All-mode 100/100/50/20 W RX: 30 KHz-200 / 400-470 MHz

I'm sure there are other differences but the bands and power are at least some obvious ones.

what is + WARC ?

WARC are the relatively newer bands, 12M and 17M.

like 385 posted the power levels for VHF/UHF were increased as the newer models were released.

One thing I know was changed (can't remember if it was in the MKII or MKIIG it got fixed) was the design of the VHF PA. If you ran the radio at full power on VHF/UHF, there was an inductor that used to overheat in the PA section, over time this actually burnt a hole right through the main PCB, a very expensive repair bill to fix. If you use VHF/UHF then go for the MKIIG if you can, or run reduced power on the earlier versions and get a small linear.
