I have a fully optioned 736.  Love the radio.  Yes, there are
limitations, especially with the computer control, being a very early
implementation, but it's still a nice radio.  Power supply died years
ago, but I run it off 13.8V DC, so not an issue for me.

Me too.  I even have a remote base system that works around some of the
limitations of the 736's computer control.
