AT 100 KHZ, OR MORE, AWAY FROM THE TRANSMITTED SIGNAL.  THIS MAY BE OKAY
FOR LOW POWER, BUT PERHAPS NOT IF USED WITH A HIGH POWER RF AMPLIFIER WHEN
SIGNALS ARE STRONG.  TRANSMIT PHASE NOISE IS MORE NOTICEABLE ON VHF AND UHF
FREQUENCIES, WHERE RECEIVER NOISE FLOORS ARE LOWEST.  THE CW KEYING
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE IC 705 ARE EXCELLENT.  ALL IN ALL, THE IC 705 IS A
GOOD NEIGHBOR TO STATIONS OPERATING NEARBY ON THE DIAL.  TIONS, SUCH AS
STREAMING GPS INFORMATION TO YOUR COMPUTER.  I HAD A BLAST USING THE IC 705
WITH WSJT X SOFTWARE AND THE FT8 AND FT4 MODES.  HOWEVER, WHEN THIS REVIEW
WAS WRITTEN, THE LATEST VERSION OF WSJT X DIDNT INCLUDE THE 705 IN ITS LIST
OF CAT CONTROLLABLE TRANSCEIVERS.  THE WORKAROUND IS TO GO INTO THE IC 705S
CI V MENUS AND CHANGE THE CI V ADDRESS FROM THE DEFAULT A4H TO 94H.  ONCE
