I have an ICOM M802 and highly recommend it. Nothing else that I've
seen comes close with respect to ease of use. It also works well in
amateur radio mode if you have a license.

I have a Pactor TNC/modem which allows the SSB to interface with a
laptop for EMAIL and position reporting. Using popular EMAIL
services, Airmail and Sailmail, the radio is totally controlled by the
laptop. Everything is automatic except for frequency selection, and
there is a propagation tool to assist with that. You can also use the
Pactor to receive weather fax and NAVTEX broadcasts.
