My MKIIG works on AM, no optional filter. I have no idea what you are talking about. 705 is QRP....

Sure, I don't. https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/icom-ic-706mkiig-am-receive-modification.113814/

According to ICOM there are no parts available to repair a 706MKIIG. I have a dead one sitting on the shelf.

I am about to order some parts for mine. I guess it depends who you talk to.

It is a personal preference, not required to use the radio, as your post implies.

Kenwood TS-50

One of the best from Kenwood. I foolishly sold mine around 2005, but in 2020 one popped up at a decent price, re-capped and de-glued. This one's a keeper.

I used to have one for the mobile. By far the easiest rig to operate when mobile! No menus! No engine noise with it as well. I switched the a 706 Mk2 later on mostly so I could use the remote head for easier mounting. If the Kenwood had a remote head I would still be using it! The 706 is more susceptible to engine noise so I have to have the noise blanker on most of the time. It is not terrible but it is annoying.
