The IC-706MKIIG is the radio that ate the mobile world. For the better part of twenty years, if you saw an HF rig bolted under somebody's dashboard, odds were it said Icom on the front and 706 on the box. HF, 6 meters, 2 meters, AND 70 centimeters — all modes, 100 watts on HF, in a radio you can hold in one hand. Nobody else ever packed that much radio into that little space, and the used market has never forgotten it. Why hunters care: this is the deepest used pool in mobile HF. Icom built these by the truckload for two decades, so supply is real — and where supply is real, patience gets paid. The name is magic on the resale side too: everybody knows what a 706MKIIG is, so a below-market one doesn't sit. The flip side is that sellers know it as well, which is why the rule matters here more than most — at 25% under a fair value right around $600 (about $450 or less), you're buying the most liquid used rig in the hobby at a price that leaves meat on the bone. What to watch for buying used: age is the whole story — even the youngest of these is a working adult now. The classic tell is the display: owners report the LCD backlight fading with years, so a dim screen is common. Treat it as a bargaining chip, not a walk-away — but price it in. Key every band before money changes hands and watch the power meter do its job on all four; the VHF/UHF final lives in a very small, very warm box, and it's the expensive thing to fix. The DSP (UT-106) was an optional add-on, not standard equipment, so a unit with it already fitted is worth a few dollars more than one without. And if your plan is head-on-the-dash mobile, the separation kit was optional too — budget for it separately.
The letters buy you bands and refinements. The original 706 covered HF, 6m, and 2m; the MKII cleaned up the receiver and added the DSP option; the MKIIG — the G — added 70cm, making it the true all-bander. On the used market the G commands the premium, and it's the one most buyers are actually hunting for, so make sure the listing says MKIIG and not just "706" before you run the math.
Please don't. On HF transmit this little box pulls around 20 amps — roughly ten times what a lighter socket is fused for. Wire it straight to the battery with proper fusing on both leads, the way the manual shows. Every mobile installation headache you've ever heard about a 706 traces back to somebody skipping that step.
Not necessarily — it's the most reported age issue on these rigs, and plenty of dim-display 706s work perfectly otherwise. What it IS is leverage: a replacement display costs real money, so the price should reflect it. If the seller won't move on price for a dim screen, there are thousands more of these out there. Wait for the one who will.
