Hi all,

Just figured I'd poke my head in and say hello.

I pre-ordered an IC-705 when they were announced and it arrived in late 2020. I haven't had an opportunity due to work to really put it through it's paces in the year I've had it, but so far, it's an impressive setup, and makes the FT-817 I replaced it with feel pretty ancient in comparison. I'm still a huge Yaesu fan, but looking forward to getting out and doing some mountain-top contacts with this one...

that thing looks beautiful but to complicated for what i need, i might mess with a 7000 but i like the 706 better seems easyer to operate and i like the monochrome display. if the ic7000 came down in price id probably go for one. the 705 looks to complicated, and i need a mobile rig.
