The article implies that the previous the ham rig on the ISS was the Ericsson handheld. Wasn't there a Kenwood D700 operating for quite a while?

The D700 was not very operational as they didn't think it through very well. Cooling was an issue as was the software loaded on. Lots of bugs. This new IORS discussed in the article addresses much of that. What has been working tirelessly are the two Ericcson HTs.
Yes. You can see the D700 in use here: https://youtu.be/h73EYcyszf8?t=679
