Hi George,

Thanks for the reply. I did some checking, and there is something to what 
you've heard. The first generation (MKI) 706 models show .16 uV sensitivity 
at 144 MHz with the preamp on.

The spec on my MK2g is .11 uV, same as the IC-910.

Good to know - I had no idea that Icom improved the sensitivity from MKI to 
MKIIg.

Under 144 MHz the specs on the two rigs are about the same.

73,
