If you go to QRZ.COM web site you will find the info to mod your 706 for general coverage. Dividing down from 13.6/13.7 mhz by 100 works well and is stable enough for most applications like QRS. Stability depends on temperature environment. For QRS leave the rig switched on some hours before use and in a warm room NOT in an outside garden shed !! 73 and GL de Mal/G3KEV > > Kevin > ZL4MD > >
