Im looking for an all around rig with good receive on AM shortwave,
SSB and CW capabilities for under $1000. I had an Icom 718 a couple of
years ago and must say it had a very good all around receiver and I
thought it was a good rig for the money.
There are a couple of others like the TS-570DG and the FT-897 and was
wondering if I can get opinions on this subject.

Thanks....Gil
