I would bite on the 7000 and not look back. It comes with everything, so it isn't missing anything.
Sent from my phone.
but what about all the overheating problems and icom being so anal about honoring or admitting to warranty issues and charging so much for everything after the warranty is up? i know many guys who dumped there icoms and will never go back
i listen to alot of low band short wave hf and hear alot of unhappy newer icom owners. from what ive heard i wouldnt own one. and kenwood makes a small dash mountible faceplate for the ts-2000 so you can put the radio in the trunk or behind-under the seats and alot of guys i hear love it
the only problem i see with icom is you have to order the filters seprate.
