My first and only QRP rig: IC-705. Brilliant technology.
Only thing that annoys me is connecting speakerphone. Why no regular mic socket?

That last one (4040) I've had an incredible amount of fun with over the past almost 30 years.
I've had a lot of fun with various other QRP rigs over the years too, including a Kenwood TS-700A 2M all mode rig that I modified to reduce its power to 5W (from its original 10-12W). I used to have a weekly sked with a fellow 2M SSB enthusiast about 150 miles away. Pretty decent for 5W into an old 10el Cushcraft at less than 20 feet. My buddy was running an FT-736 into a single 13B2 at maybe 50 feet, so also not a super station.
