Anyone any views?

Looks very nice Roger. But it is still a CB radio with 10m diguise. There are other sets around even cheaper I think. It's just that you owned a original Lincoln I guess (I did too!). The original set did look more like a 10m amateurradio I think.
I would prefer a Albrecht AE5890 (looks more professional). Costs about £150 and covers after a mod 10-11-12m.

I wouldn't buy a 10M rig that couldn't interface to handle digital modes, especially if it only runs 30W SSB. For that money, you could get an amp for your FT-817.
I'm bit surprised that you haven't done more with PSK31, considering your current limitations. Most functions can be handled with macros, so typing is minimal. And it's a bit more satisfying to have a real QSO, instead of a WSPR report. You've got the SignaLink, and the FT-817 is very interface-friendly, after all.
But I also understand what it means to have your heart set on a radio, practicality be damned.
