[Icom] IC-718 HF Transceiver

[Donald Schaefer]

I have IC-718 that I am very happy with.  When I got it I asked about 
getting a DSP board for it
and was told to save my money or spend it on something else .  In fact 
the person who sold it to me said that after I had a good chance to use 
it without DSP and still wanted one he would give me one.

So that's what  did.  I spend the money on a very good vertical antenna 
with traps to cover all the main band on the CT-718.  And I have not 
regretted it.  I really like to ease of using this rig and
it's sensitivity and other filters work great.  I don't think I will 
ever get a DSP for it.

I have used I-coms DSP board on a PCR-1000 that I use a lot and it did 
great things for that rig.
But I find that the IC-718 way out performs the PCR-1000 with no 
comparison.  I feel it is worth the bucks.
