Hi guys, finally getting around to taking a course for tech license over the next two Saturdays. I haven't even passed the test yet, but have started thinking about getting a dual band mobile. However, my ultimate goal is to get General, and to be able to play (nearly unlimited) HF as well. So to get a rig that I can afford, I'd either be looking at the Icom 706 MkIIG (used) or a new Yaesu FT-857D to give me the features that I want. I do have the room, but don't really want to run an HF rig and separate dual band mobile in my truck. Hence the reason for wanting the all-in-one rig. What have you guys seen that have been there, done that? Pro's cons of either one of these choices? Are there better choices out there?
