What’s your opinion of the ICOM IC-718 HF radio?

I’ve been thinking about buying this one.

That radio is a good starter radio, lots of features but limited on a few things that the IC-7300 has. If $$$ is a large decision on a radio, the IC-718 is a good choice.

I actually have two. It’s a great radio and have made many DX contacts with it. Well worth the money. I also have an IC-7300, a much more sophisticated radio but it’s nice getting on the 718 for the simplicity.

I’m actually selling one of my 718’s for a great price and I’d rather see a new ham get it.
