[Yaesu] Yaesu FT767 questions/opinions

[John AA5JG]

I have a chance to pick up a Yaesu FT767 which has been recently aligned and checked out, so it should be good to go.  From those who have used them, I have a couple of questions:

1. How is the receiver overall?  I realize it probably has some phase noise being an older synthesized rig, but does it have pretty good strong signal handling capabilities-like contests and such?

2. What is the NB like in it?  Does it take out line noise and things like that?

3. How does the autotuner do?  Is it like many of the 80s and early 90s autotuners that will load up about anything, or more like the late 90s to present autotuners that are pretty crappy and won't load up much of anything?

4. Anything else I should know, good or bad, about the 767? It doesn't have any modules with it and I probably won't get any either.
