I have been asked to share more details of the Icom 703+ Backpack
I have had the Icom 703+ from day one over 20 years ago. It is 10 watts, covers 6m, does FM and has Collins filters and a antenna tuner.
This is an awesome radio that receives well and is built off the Icom 706 series.
It is the Icom backpack that is designed for it. Icom did a good job but it seems the designers never actually used it in the field enough times to improve some of its features. Its small for one thing and needed a bit more thought to the internals. I would have preferred a stiff board in the back so we could use a mobile bracket instead of straps.
It was a great activation with some memories as a result.

Ham Radio is a life$$$tyle not a Hobby!
Take the radio outside and operate from the Field
Throw a wire in a tree and make a QSO
Tinfoil has many uses beyond the BBQ
REMEMBER WHAT RUDY ALWAYS SAYS:
1. Buy Cheap Buy Twice - That online special that is a non-branded product may have misinformation in its marketing approach lost in translation
2. Buy Once Cry Once - Buy the Best with a Warranty that has Teeth
3. One is None and 2 is One - Think back up or a Modular approach
