The ICOM M-700 is available for $1099 from BoatersWorld.com. An ATU is not needed for anyone smart enough to get a ham license. For someone who can afford an ocean-going yacht, the cost difference is

I usually don't cross-post, but in this case it seemed the right thing to do. For those not aware, there was some debate about the correct scoring of in-country multipliers in the SARTG RTTY contest.
