review

KB3HSY on eham said, "The TS-700SP is a very nice all mode, it is very sensitive on the receive. Adding a tone encoder is a nice accessory (TE-32). It will work off of AC or DC with the proper cord and an external VFO is available for split work. I prefer the MC-50 mic as an option since it does sound cleaner then the hand mic. It is built very nice and is consistent with power output although a low power rig. The only problem is the display VFO which can intermittently go out if not used for a period of time, this is resolved by either cleaning the VFO or just spinning the VFO back and forth and it will work fine for a period of time, I understand this is a common problem and although present occasionally it doesn't take way from the rigs sound and realiablity. Worth getting if under $225"
