Not to be too picky, but...

The downconversion receiver is also used on 15 meters. Upconversion is 
used on 60, 30, 17, 12, 10 and 6 meters.
Therefore, the only HF contesting band that is slightly compromised is 
10 meters, where its performance is only as good as an Icom 756 Pro III, 
and better than the much-revered IC-781.
