IC-707 review

Picked one of these up. Same chassis as the IC-718 with different internal components. The receiver is nice and smooth sounding with an external speaker. Everything is well worked out for a basic operation, nothing fancy. It is a plug and play radio.
I had a good audio report with the HM-219 microphone.
If you are looking for a basic radio, this is it.
