Look at the picture. This radio has a keypad. I have another IC-F4TR for sale that is exactly like this one, except that it doesn't have a keypad. What do you use a keypad for anyway? Phone patch I guess. Besides, the keypad version has lots more buttons and we all know that the more buttons on the radio, the better it is.
Here are the FAQ (Freaking Annoying Questions)

Q. I see that I need software and an interface cable to program this radio. Is there anything else that I need?
A. Yes. A battery charger. This radio doesn't include a charger. I guess Icom thinks it's buyers are gonna buy lots of radios and use the chargers that work with up 8 radios at a time. A simple charger sells for $40. There are 3 or 4 other chargers that work with this radio.
