Wow, I bet the price per button works out to be very affordable :shock:.

LFaR.

Surprisingly the reason for this choice of radio is the better price!
I had a Codan HF only radio previously which was $1500 dearer than the Icom you see.
With the versatility of 3 radios in one, you will see plenty of Icom 706's and 7000's fitted.
I use my radio for Amateur use, four wheel drive network and have some commercial frequencies for work purposes.

Cheers, Mat

Yikes! Let the debate begin!
Please don't turn this thread into the type approved vs. Non typeapproved radios and their respective uses.
Orange, I would run your power direct from a battery. The 706 will draw some serious current at 100w. Plus it will reduce any electrical interferance.

And to add to this if you want it to go on/off with the key, put a relay in line triggered off say the cig lighter or accesory socket in the boot. Best of both worlds then, heavy duty DC straight from Aux bat, but on/off with key.

Now Strahn, where are those cheap 9350s ? :mrgreen:

Re: Icom IC-7000 Installation

Still trying to source the Rear Aerial Mount as pictured above -

Anyone know where they can be found - looking for a mount that can fit behind the hard rear tyre cover and mount HF aerial on.

Thanks in advance
