I will do an intensive review and write up on the 703+

The specs state that the sensitivity of the 703+ is reduced
from 0 - 1600khz  from the .6uv capabilities from 1.8 to 60 mhz

Probably a good thing.

I bought mine mint for $350 so that is a whole lot of receiver and transmit
for the dollar.

Signals overall seem about equal with the Drake R8 - which we all know is a solid receiver.
