An Oldie But A Goodie

First of all I went into this buying this specific radio from this specific buyer with my eyes wide open. I realized this was a USED PRODUCT and might have problems, it might need me to spend more money on it to get it to a level I would be happy with it. I'm happy to say so far I haven't had to spend a single penny more on it than the purchase prices. It's operated 100% of the time I've asked it to since I purchased it.

Appearance is not 100% since it's USED so I can't expect it to look like a NEW radio. It's still more than just acceptable, I'm very happy with the care the previous owner took of this radio. It's met and even surpassed what I expected on every band from 2 to 160 meters, I've contacted people in a number of countries around the world and signal reports have been excellent. I've used this radio with a microphone and voice, with a straight key sending/receiving Morse code, and just picked up a kit for my SIgnaLink USB to modify it to work with this radio so I can try it out on the digital modes like FT8, RTTY, WSPR etc.

I kmow this radio was older and has been around for a number of years, and I'm hopeful I'll still have it a number of more years so I can continue to enjoy it for years to come.

I got the French version. No tx above 3.900

This is ICOM 706 not mkiig or other. I like the Icom but I must have got the french version. It did not work on 75 meters meaning it had band edges set at 3.900 and would not transmit up past 3.901 - 3.999 and this is where my nets are held for my club. So according to the digital manual I downloaded from icom, it would be the french version. This was only the radio without a mic and no power cord. The unit works, albeit the wrong version for me.Read full review

IC-706 Microphone Adapter Cable

It's perfect. I changed mics on my IC-7100 because they are garbage and I needed an adapter cable. This one is perfect. I get compliments on the air for my crystal clarity of voice. Well worth the money. Heavy duty construction. Thx.Read full review

For a used item, this radio deserves 5 stars. For unknown reason, the shipment got delayed but the seller quickly resent it using Fedex. Everything works fine but it won't go up above 146MHz on 2m. Apparently it is a Japanese version. However, a quick test with power level 5 shows output of about 30W on my less than ideal antenna on 15m, so I assume the max power theoretically can go up to 100W on HF. No DSP board inside, but the sound is clear enough.Read full review

Works great and simple in install

Simple low cost solution for using a better mic in place of the stock IC-7100 mic.

Works for replacing cheap mic on IC-7100

I desired to replace the pretty much worthless mic that comes with the Icom IC-7100 with a mic that is on the IC-7300 (the HM-219) This seems to do the job just perfectly.

The classic best

There are newer versions, but they got things right on this transceiver. Still one of the best and relatively simple to use.

Very happy with this radio. Have the par...

Very happy with this radio. Have the parts and the skills to get this up an singing. Granted, operabilty was unknown going in, worth a shot in the dark. I'm pretty sure when I get it powered up, it'll be fine. A bit of general cleanup and it'll look like new.Read full review

Icom IC706

Can repolarize display, looking for procedures to set for north America frequencies. Otherwise fine.

Good quality - Good Value

Cable worked fine. The connectors are good quality. Much better price than the factory Icom cable.
