Hi John,

My favorite is the IC-718 at $570.00 or so. I have 3 of them now; one is in 
a case with an AH-4 tuner for quick deployment, one as an extra in the shack 
next to the 756p2 and another as a loner for folks that have never played 
with HF. Excellent out of band performance for MARS and SHARES with high 
stability crystal.
