Thanks to all...
I will pursue the 718 possibility. I need something small but want to avoid those that have removable fronts...too small to operate. The 718 is basic I know but my ops will be casual and not in motion...probably get a screwdriver for antenna. John: Just went through double eye surgery and left eye is still a work in progress (LOL) but looks like the display on the icom may be a bit better than the others...yes, that is reasonably important as I am now a really OM...got to start acting my age! Looking forward to many more answers to not yet known questions...just getting back into ops since many years absence. Thanks for all comments...Now...about that antenna...what say?
