Please help me decide
I cant figure out if i want an icom 706G or an icom 7000
I am new to Ham
Here is what i will be doing
It is going to be used in home only
My main reason for picking these two are the following
1 i like icom
2 i am only a tech/ currently studying for general
3 I use 440 a lot on a local machine with freinds
4 Im mainly going to use 10 meters at the moment and some 6 untill i get my general
I live in a buliding with a fire escape and im pretty much limited to mag mount antennas because i can not errect a giant verticle or yagi as much as i want to.
I have heard some bad things about the 7000 UHF final and im not going to lie that scared me a bit although it looks like an amazing radio.
I have also not ruled out the yaesu 857 although im not crazy about the ultra small screen
I have read alot of reviews but wanted to hear maybe from some people here who could offer some
Thanks for any input and sorry to put this in this area wasnt sure if it should go here or the HF thread
