Yeh, I understand why you would rarely use the slow mode, 
probably only for CW contacts.  Jim WA6EKS

 Hi Jim and all,
 It's the #9 key it acts like a toggle 9 puts it in to slow or
 fast mode.
 Thanks 73 Matt ka0pqw

   Butch, I am wondering how you adjust the fine tuning so you 
can
 tune the
   VFO
   either slowly or more rapidly on the 2000?  I got it in the 
slow
 mode so
   it
   takes a week to tune from one end of the band to the other.  I
 know there
   must be a button on the front pannel like the TS480, but I 
can't
 find it
   in
   the quick key guide etc.  73, Jim WA6EKS

   I have never owned a 706, but I think there are folks on here
 that do.
   I do have a 2000 and it is a very accessible radio and goes to
 440 or
   1.2 gig depending on which model.

   No, I am interested in something more speech friendly.  I 
wasn't
 sure
   what spoke in that radio.  I think that either the TS 2000 
from
   Kenwood, or the Icom 706 Mk 2 G, are the only two that speek.
   Thanks.

   Yes it has a voice bord in it to give you s meter and 
frequency
 but
   that's
   it.
   Your going to have a bit of a hard time with any of the menus.
   But if your only interested in changing frequencies and modes
 and keying
   the
   mic then it's probley ok.
   Thanks 73 Matt ka0pqw

   I am interested in the Icom 7000.  I think those radios go to
 either
   2 meters or 70 centameters.
   Could you tell me the price you want for the radio?
   Thanks.

   Another radio worth the look is the 450.  I had one of those,

   speech boards may be hard to find.  The 690 is the same radio,
