I like it much better than my Icom 706MKIIG for a base.
The size helps as well as the controls not being menu driven.
I appreciate the controls alot being on the face of it.
The RX seems to be less effected by powerline interference less than my Icom. The Icom had alot of the insulator noise.
The Icom is better as a mobile than a base, IMO.
I favor an analog meter despite the Icom having the squelch shown on the bar meter.
The 1kc mod works, despite reports of the contrary.
The only negitives I find is no preamp and few presets.
All in all, a great value at 300$.
