ICOM 706MKIIG with 2 KL 500 Watt Amplifier One of My Base Station off and on for about 10 years This set up is rather nice if you want to run mobile as the 706 and antenna tuner are mounted on a board which can be picked up and moved to the vehicle 
This is my standby set up which I have used along with the 706MKIIG set up using an ICOM 746 PRO for a tranceiver 
Kenwood TS 2000 with Tokyo HY Power HL 450B 400 Watt Amplifier (shown here without proper or no panels) The THP amplifier (3rd shelf from bottom) is designed to be used as a 400 watt mobile howerver it can be used as a base station with a 12 VDC @ 60A power supply (bottom shelf) as shown here mobile pictures coming Why do I settle for 400/500 watts? Because 400/500 watts is a 6/7 db gain over the 100 watt transceiver while going on to a KW is only 3 db gain 1 S unit over 500 watts hardly noticable on the receiving end not worth the additioonal $$$ invested in my opinion 
ICOM 756 PROII Setup From bottom to top of rack cabinet ICOM 756 PROII Tranceiver covering all the HF and 50MHz frequencies Here are the two power supplies that supply 12VDC to all the sations equipment the one the left is a 40 Amp for all equipment except the amplifier The one on the right is a 60 Amp for the amplifier Above the power supplies is the TOKYO HY POWER Model 450B Mobile Amplifier all solid state delivering a cool 400 watts output shown here being used in a base station The second shelf from the top shows a LDG AT-600PRO 600W automatic antenna tuner Finally at the top right meter is a Daiwa CN101L a SWR & Power Cross Needle 1.8-150 MHz meter while the left meter is a Daiwa CN103L covers 140-525 MHz
