Review 2			Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I am now sure my 703 trade was my best trade ever. Today was day 2 of the ARRL contest. I got on for 2 hours and made 40 contacts ranging on 40, 20 and 15 meters. The internal ATU was fast and gave me 1:1 on all freq. The IF/DSP did an awesome job pulling out and cleaning up signals. I got numerous "great sound" reports. All in all I was very, very impressed. Also had fun making the display color change to a nice Green on black Was good on the eyes too..hihi I would recommend this radio in a heartbeat. I might put my 706mkii up for trade for another one. I have had that one mobile with dsp and both filters and I like this radio better. First time I ran across one that impressed me so much without costing in the $2000 to $4000 range. The radio still can't match those but it does one hell of a job anyway.
Product is in production.
