[ICOM] IC-718 Memory Management Software Found

[Steve Rodowicz]

Hello Tom,

I've noticed your inquiries regarding the 718.

There are some here in New England that are suggesting that its a good choice 
for emergency communications. Certainly the price is inviting!

I have no experience with the radio, have used various other Icoms tho, (ic-701, 
746,756, 781 and the others)

What as your experience been with the 718?

How do you primarily use?

What strengths and weaknesses have you noted?

Hope I'm not too inquisitive, but I would appreciate your comments

Have a good New Year.

73,

Steve - N1SR
