Since your original question seemed to focus on CW I reported it as a lousy
CW radio, but If the above is a "drop-dead" set of requirements, then the
706MKIIG becomes one of a very few radios which will meet your spec.  It
happens to be the same reason I have that model radio in my RV.  

Understand ahead of time, however, that it is not a very good CW radio "out
of the box".  Spend some money on filters and it will be acceptable, but
not great.
