I use the Icom IC-706MKIIG, it used to be a field radio, when I belong to a 
club that did a lot of special event setups but I've since been ur, left 
that club and that radio is now ready to go mobile though I haven't done it 
yet. The wiring is all set as of a couple weeks ago things have just been 
crazy. I play with all kinds of antennas  mobile and portable, my favorite 
being a Carolina bugcatcher on a tripod similar to what they make for the 
outbacker antenna, this one's made for $15 instead of their outrageous price 
though, it's easy to build yourself. I've experimented with a lot of setups 
though over the years, all worked to some degree. None as good as that one 
for portable/mobile, but I've sure done a lot, that excludes the temporary 
G5RV setups I've done though.
