I'm in the market for a tabletop receiver of fairly high quality, but it
seems to me that all of the best functionality is in new handhelds.
I've looked in some detail at both the Icom IC-R75 and the Yaesu
VR-5000, and the substantial idiosyncrasies of each have me leaning
heavily toward an IC-R20, which seems to have everything I want except
the "correct" form factor.

Anything else I ought to look at before I just go get an IC-R20 tomorrow
and be done with it? Budget is no more than $700 on the bottom line,
which eliminates the AOR 8600 MkII.

Thanks for any advice,
