Anyone use this little mobile unit for cruising? What would be
its
advantages/disadvantages over the 710? It seems to have a
broader band
selection, and is smaller/lighter.

I have used one of the original 706 radios on Fundy for the last
6 1/2 years with
the AH-4 autotuner. For the ham bands it has been a great little
radio with the capability of being able to listen to a lot of
other things. Some day, we will upgrade, but for now it does all
we want.
