Description
The IC-706MKIIG incorporated all of the wizardry of the IC-706 with refined features and user-friendliness, as well as enhanced performance.

The IC-706MKIIG carries on the 706\' series tradition of base station performance and features in a mobile rig-sized package. Building on this legacy, frequency coverage is expanded to the 70 cm band and output power is increased for the 2 m band. A long list of enhancements, both to usability and performance, as well as added features and functions have produced the latest in the evolution of the 706\' series.

HF to 70 cm band coverage
Operating frequency range has been expanded to the 70 cm band. Of course, all mode operation (SSB, CW, RTTY, AM and FM) is possible and a full 100 W of output power is available for HF and 6 m operation; 50 W for 2 m and 20 W for 70 cm operation.

High stability transmitter
MOS-FET power amplifiers are employed at the PA unit for all HF, 6 m, 2 m and 70 cm bands. And, a one piece aluminum, die-cast chassis with a large cooling fan is employed. This combination provides stable, high quality output with low IMD and low spurious emissions even during full duty cycle and extended operation.

Illuminated keys and switches
Backlighting of keys and switches is a great help during nighttime operation. The intensity is even adjustable!

Tone squelch standard
Tone squelch operation is available in FM mode for basic signalling and quiet standby. Tone frequencies can be set independently for tone squelch (Tx/Rx) and repeater tones, and a range of 50 frequencies is available. A tone scan function is available to search fo a repeater\'s access tone quickly and easy.

DSP features
AF DSP capabilities are available (optional UT-106 unit required). These include noise reduction and auto notch functions. Superior receive quality in you shack, vehicle or during DX\'peditions.

Compact with detachable panel
The IC-706MKIIG is very compact at 167(W) x 58(H) x 200 (D) mm and weighs a mere 2.5 kg, making it ideal for DX\'peditions, etc. A detachable front panel allows easy installation in your shack or in a wide variety of mobile applications (an optional separation cable is required).

Automatic repeater function
An automatic repeater function is available (by programming) and repeater frequencies can be programmed via a special operation. This eliminates the need for repeater settings for 6 m, 2 m or 70 cm repeater operation.

Optional high frequency stability
+/- 0.5 ppm of high frequency stability is provided when an optional CR-282 HIGH STABILITY CRYSTAL UNIT is installed.

Simple operation
The individual band change key, a sub dial and quick band change capability provide simple operation. The individual band change keys allows quick and easy QSY, the sub dial enhances mobile and memory operation, and the quick band change capability selects pre-set frequency bands with the last-used frequency and mode. Alsom each band can store preamplifier/attenuator and tuner on/off settings.

Simple band scope function
This function sweeps +/- 14 steps from the displayed frequency and plots received signal strength on the function display. This function is useful not only for checking HF band conditions, but also seeking vacant frequencies during VHF or UHF FM operations.

Narrow FM capability
For FM operation on the 10 m, 2 m and 70 cm bands (where narrow FM is required), the IC-706MKIIG has narrow FM capability that allows you to take advantage of this operating mode.

107 memory channels with alpanumeric name capability
99 channels can memorize both transmit and receive frequencies separately; 6 channels are for programmed scan edges; and 2 channels are for call memory for the 2 m and 70 cm bands. And, up to 9-character alphanumeric names can be programmed into each memory channel.
