He has also reviewed the IC-7000, which you can find here: * http://tinyurl.com/3lepwmd* That's something I've been looking for. Thanks! I'll gather some cash and buy one before next fall.

Re: [IRCA] Breaking in a new MW Receiver...
Hi Colin, Indeed, the IC-703+ is very nice for MW in a compact package! I owned the newer IC-7000 for a while and it is hot on MW. The IF-DSP filtering and PBT is great, and found the noise reduction feature very effective. Have you seen Bjarne Mjelde's review of the IC-703 from a MW DXing perspective?

I will do an intensive review and write up on the 703+ The specs state that the sensitivity of the 703+ is reduced from 0 - 1600khz from the .6uv capabilities from 1.8 to 60 mhz Probably a good thing. I bought mine mint for $350 so that is a whole lot of receiver and transmit for the dollar. Signals overall seem about equal with the Drake R8 - which we all know is a solid receiver.

Re: [IRCA] Breaking in a new MW Receiver
ICOM 703+ As it turns out, with a Wellbrook ALA100M, it rocks on medium wave - two bandwidths, band pass tuning, DSP noise reduction Auto-Het elimination... Bought it as a 10W All-band all-mode transceiver but the MW end is turning out to be pretty tasty! Has anyone tried the ICOM IC-7000 tranceiver? Supposedly a good DSP rig. I've been thinking about replacing the Palstar in my truck with that. I haven't seen any MW band reception reviews for it yet.

[IRCA] Breaking in a new MW Receiver
Thanks for that info Colin. I have been looking for a small HF transceiver with good MW performance, but there isn't much in depth info on the hams forums. The 703+ is also a nice looking rig.
