  I did a swap Yaesu for Icom -  but the Icom 746pro is really not a set =
backward.  In fact the rx performance (except for the slower bandscope =
and no split headphone) is better (IMHO) then the 756proII in several =
ways. I expected to get ANOTHER yaesue with my Yaesu trade in - but =
after visiting several stores and several sales people, reading all the =
problems Yaesu owners are having and trying it, BTW the 746pro is =
better(!) than the 756proII and I got a thousand dollars back! =
Hummm.....=20

  Customer service is what Yaesu needs to understand. I can afford to =
have two rigs and when 'Yaesu gets it' then I will buy another.=20

  Thanks for the email=20

Thanks for your feedback and comparison information Ken, very much =
appreciated.

Hopefully Yaesu is listening up and will improve soon. Seems like every =
year or two it is musical chairs as to which manufacture has the more =
reliable gear (notice I didn't say better ...hi hi).

Japan is having serious financial problems, and it looks like some =
companies are trying to cash in on their historical name sake, while =
making cuts and compromises that save cost... unfortunately at the =
expense of the customers. .... and that is not just in ham gear.

Hey John N1JM, thanks for your reply too. Nice to cross paths again! =
Have you tried the TrxManage with your Mark yet?
