Advanced SWL, (may even get my lic back some day) 1.6-30Mhz, remote
control (computer), all internal sigs should be accessible, at least
the IF (Have Panadapter, home brew digital FAX, etc.)

It is time to retire to standby my National HRO-500. Any suggestions out
there ?   I have heard some bad news on the Icom R-71(A?), and I saw someone
post on the net (usenet) that there has been news on another net not getting
gated to usenet, true ? The ICOM would be at the bottom of my list, I have
had access to a Harris 550 from time to time, nice. Now that it is no
longer in production has anyone seen one on the market ?

On the Icom R-71; what is this I here about remote/computer access ?, is it
true, is it really there, I called ICOM and they just read me the glossies,
I can do that. I asked about a service manual, the best I could get is that
the preliminary version (English, I hope), might be here sometime in
NOVEMBER !!@#*@)!! (didn't ask if that was 1984).

What filters are there for the ICOM ?
