The TS-870 was reviewed in QST in the February, 1996 edition. The Kachina
505DSP was reviewed in May, 1998. The 756 Pro in June, 2000. The first
receiver-only radio with DSP IF that I can recall was the Watkins-Johnson
HF-1000, reviewed in December, 1994.

I think the Katchina 505 came out around the same
time, so not sure which was first, but it was for sure
the first stand alone rig with IF DSP, even though
many, including QST, usually credit the Icom 756PRO.

Wasn't Kenwood's TS870 the first IF DSP radio on the
ham market?
