Since probably nobody either has or wants to spend this much on a radio, rather than clutter up the list with a lot of info, instead I'll pass on an URL: http://www.qsl.net/ab4oj/icom/ic7800/7800links.html It weighs about 55 pounds, is supposed to run 200 watts, and has an internal power supply. I believe the synthesizer is included, as it certainly should be for this much money. Look for a review of it in the August QST, or it's now up on the ARRL site. Keith
