Briefly, it has VOX, Anti-VOX and PTT to activate SSB Tx.  It has an 
8-band Tx Equalizer.  It's capable of ESSB for those who wish to do so. 
  It has High-Cut and Low-Cut controls to make it easy to adjust receive 
selectivity.  Manual as well as auto-notch.  Denoiser.  Optional digital 
voice recorder.  Adjustable IF clipper for increased talk power under 
marginal conditions.  Monitoring of Tx audio so you can hear what your 
signal will sound like over the air.  Isolated soundcard interface so 
you can use a PC for voice-mode operation.  Front and rear panel 
microphone jacks.  Switchable mic bias (on/off) to accommodate electret 
or other microphones on a per-jack basis.

Etc.  The "etc" are always important ;-)
