Optical Astronomy Obs. Tucson AZ USA Lines: 16 I have a Yaesu FT757-GX and I think it is terrific. It has general coverage receive, dual vfo's, full breakin (QSK), eight memories, USB, LSB, CW wide, CW narrow, AM, FM; modes all as standard features. I have noticed that Kenwood and Icom are lowering the prices of the 430S and the 745, obviously to compete better with the 757, but they still cost more and do not have the narrow CW filter, FM and AM (430S) built in. Just in case anyone thinks that I am total biased against Icom and Kenwood, if you do not want general coverage receive capability, then I think that the Icom 730 is an execellent transceiver for pure ham band work.
