Hi Anthony;
I enjoyed my 735. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a speech board.  At the
time you could buy a stone mountain key pad that plugged into the radio for
direct entry.  It wasn't as good as speech but compared to my old Drake tr4
it was fun.  I think you can plug in an interphase to use it with a pc.  The
stone mountain key pad used the plug that would otherwise have been used for
the pc interphase.  There is room for one filter and you probably want an
external speaker.  No built in tuner but the nice thing about a separate
tuner is that you can put a meter between the radio and tuner and see what's
going on.
