[ICOM] IC-718

[Douglas Person]

The IC-718 has the same basic receiver architecture as the IC-706. So 
the design is quite old. My experience back when the 718 was relatively 
new to the market was that its receiver was rather poor in selectivity. 
I can't think of another rig on the market that doesn't exceed its 
performance. Save your money and buy an an IC-7300. They show up on the 
used market frequently. Vastly superior to the relatively ancient 718.
