    Jim, which Icoms did you say were specifically bad for dropping power on
    12v vehicle supplies?

    Have you ever had an IC-725?

    had one for 18 years 1989 to 2007 apart from the filter being a bit
    narrow no problems and gives 100w at 12v

    Useful to know. I'm looking for something that I can run on a 12v
    battery for a reasonable period. I don't want DSP or waterfalls.

    Icom made a 2.8kHZ filter the FL-103 but I'm not sure how much messing
    about it would be to change it.

    good man...these things are for the big babies ....

    I like the sound of the ic728 better ...

    Steady on, that's pushing into 1990s technology. I had a 720A once, it
    was cheap and I added extra AM and CW filters plus the FM board when it
    was easy to order stuff cheap from the US. The only thing I disliked was
    the noisy band change relays. It started to go rusty though so I chopped
    it in for a TS-870S.
