Good deal!! I'm partial to my Icom 746. I also have a kenwood ts140s that I am in the process of rewiring a new mic for. But the Icom 746 is my main radio. It does the job for me on both am and SSB. I am on SSB 99.9% of the time anyhow. At any rate hope you get a good deal on it if you get it. And have it sent out and tuned and aligned by a good tech!! Again, this is JMHO. Good radios those cobra 2k's. They rock on SSB when setup right.
