good job ron.  Had a 703+ once.  nice little rig.  Now have a kx3, even better performance.
When I get it back from a complete re-alignment and install of the ni-mh battery charger, going to play out on the patio with the alex loop walk-ham.  a portable mag loop which works really well from 40 through 10.
