I used an LDG AT11MP with my IC718 when I had it, and it worked like a
champ.

And, I agree with Danny:  the UT106 filter and UT102 voice chips make the
rig very usable and adaptable.

I don't think you can go wrong with that combination.

I used one of the ldg tuners, likely the at11mp, but not sure, as it's been
several years.  But it did well with my g5rV and Super Antenna MP1.  Make
sure you get the DSP/ut106 and ut102 voice chip.
If, with these two units, which initially were sold as add ons, but if you
can get a new 718, or a well taken care of unit with dsp and speech for
$700, you should do well.  There are some other possibilities as well,
depending on power accessibility, and portability considerations.  Danny.
