What drew me to the IC-740 were the reviews on eham.net and other articles on it in the internet. I remember this particular comment by AB4OJ: " IC-740 - $200 to $250 - WARC bands, no general coverage, has IF Shift and PBT,very quiet frequency generation system" in his article "Good Older Icom Radios."
