OT:

I went into my local Amateur Radio equipment out let and I just happened to glance at the price of the Icom 706MIIG and, it was up it $1,600 bucks! that was $650 more than I paid for mine from the same place!

OT: #2 It would be great if RCI made a extention cable for the RCI / Galaxy 29xx family of radios; I have even thought of getting a scrap radio and trying to make a extended head.
