This morning I just happened across a craigslist ad for some ham gear for sale and ended up picking myself up a nice Icom IC-746 from KB2SDP. I figured since I’m just getting into HF I didn’t necessarily need to go with the pro version or a 756. Currently only receiving until I get my HF privileges later this month and also until I get a higher capacity power supply, I’m very happy with the selectivity of the radio. This afternoon I’ve been listening on 40 and 80 meter bands.
