A Bit of background: I have 2 IC-718s, one in the house, one in the truck
The one I use in the house was purchased new in 2002 and has never been mobile.
The one in the truck was purchased new in 2006 by a friend who used it in is sailboat while cruising on the Gulf of Mexico for a few years, when not sailing, he lived on the boat. When he sold the sailboat and purchased a Trawler style to live on and no longer cruise with, around 2010 he sold me the radio for a price I couldn't pass up......
