Trying to get back into the hobby after many years away. I am in the process of trying to acquire a FT101E, mostly for nostalgic purposes. Regardless of how that turns out, I would like, in the future, to get a more modern rig. I can't afford a high end rig. Years ago, i had a FT757GXII and I was quite happy with that.
I have been looking around and the only low cost rig I have seen is the Icom 718.
Is that a decent rig for SSB/CW or would I be better off getting a used, but higher end radio?
I know ICOM was a good radio in the past, but I don't know about today as I am out of touch with modern rigs. Suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
