Hi John, yes the 718 can be equipped with the U T 102
cynthecizer, although its European counterpart rig, which is nearly the same
otherwise, can not_.  it'll give Frequency for sure, Not sure about any
other accessibility with it.
Overall the 718's a simpler to operate, and menu shallower rig than is the
706/703 series.
Sincerely, Danny  Dyer, wb4idu.
