Wow Patrick, Thanks for all the great advise! I will surely check out your youtube videos. For the years I have been a ham, I only did HF and of course VHF/UHF FM. I never ventured beyond that level. I just recently got active on 6 meters and purchased a used IC706 and a Diamond 2 elem yagi for 6. My mistake, I should have got a IC706 MKII, so I would have had 440 capability also.. Live and learn!  But really appreciate the advise and I am really looking forward to venture out with this!Best 73KB2CWNFlorida
