I may look at the Yaesu. I haven't seen any indication that the Icoms are programable. I have the Kenwood TMD 700 and it was so nice to type all the memory channels and such into the computer and then flash it over to the radio. Granted on a HF rig it might not be as big of a deal to put in...
I am looking to purchase a HF mobile rig. I was wondering if the Icoms, either the 7000 or 706, is computer programmable? I know that the Kenwood 480 is programmable with free software form Kenwood. I think I like the Icom 7000, but I have heard bad things about the transmit audio, and the...
