They made hundreds of thousands of Icom 706's the last ones (MK II G) had DSP and 160 to 70 CM all mode with broad band receive a nice used one can be had for $500 The IC 7000 ( over a grand) is a very nice radio also but is battery hungry. I have both I'm not really brand conscious ( even have one of those cheapo HT's) but both of those units are top notch and small. When I camp I usually take my IC 7200 it is not small or light but it can be dropped kicked with easy menu systems and out standing filters and DSP right around a $1000 new. Glad you found the site!
