    I think the 718 is the best low end rig. You need a General class for all bands or Tech. for 10 meters only SSB. There is no more code requirements.

    Hi,

    I am thinking of buying an ICOM IC-718 HF All Band Transceiver. Is this
    a good unit for a novice ham radio operator?

    Also, what license will I need to operate this unit?

    Any advice will be well appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Jeff
