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.

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.

Hi Mike,
I don't think the icom 7000 is very blind friendly.
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,
