Hi Butch,
The 703 is a qrp version.
From what I have read it has a way better receiver in it than the 718.
Doesn't the 718 have it's own built in keypad?
The ic703 has also been discontinued so I may have a hard time finding one.
I'm going to do some calling around tomorrow to see what I can find.
73,
Eric
