Include the IC-756 and just about any other recent rice box with 6M and
above built-in.

What, Fort Fumble risk advertising revenue? Look at how they lick the
hind end of the crap from MFJ.

Since VHF was brought up previously just let me say that I am moving
backward in time. My current IF platform is a TS-830S for 6 and 2M and I
will probably be getting a few more for higher bands. A few simple mods
turn it into a fine RX, etc.
I have 5 TS-940's with just about every mod possible yet they are not as
quiet and distortion free as the 830...on VHF I dont need all the bells
and whistles and the locals appreciate the BIG reduction in broadband TX
noise.....something not noticed in the din of HF operating.

Also working on upgrading a HRO-500 rcvr since it has exceptionally low
phase noise.

Sorry for drifting off subject.
