I'd suggest you do what I did, grab a second-hand IC706MkII (note, not MkIIg,
apparently it's Tx/Rx switching time is slower) while they're still available
and cheap. They're very popular amongst the digital HF guys, especially the
PACTOR folk. There is an excellent IC706 support mailing list that regularly
fields the sort of questions you're asking.

Terry
