Hi Ryan,

I have had my eye on this one ever since it was announced... The IC-705 is a QRP rig, so power output is low by design. What I really like - it's a true SDR and has the same basic design and Waterfall display as the 7300. Which I love! This rig would make an awesome RFI noise hunter. But Icom really blew it when they released the 9700 - way over priced! So worried they will do the same to the 705 and put it out of my reach... Just have to wait and see... Jim W7ABD

Is the IC-705 interesting? https://www.icomamerica.com/en/products/amateur/handheld/705/default.aspx Portable HF/50/144/430 All Mode at 10W with external supply / 5W battery color display with scope. If I was just starting out I might find this very interesting because it has the scope. Now that I own more cheap handhelds than I can carry at once plus the IC-7100 I don't find this as interesting. It looks cool as a portable though and supports a few things my 7100 doesn't. The max output power of 10W seems low though. All of the other Icom "mobile" radios @ 13.8v do at least 50W. Interested in your thoughts.
