     Going into the 3rd week with my new Mark V and really love this radio.
I debated over two years deciding on the Icom 746 or 756 Pro series and I
know I made the correct decision. Since purchasing the rig I put a pair of
1.8 ssb Inrads in the 2nd and 3rd IF's and 250 hz Inrads also in the 2nd and
3rd IFs for the narrow 2 position. I would like to have a 100 hz but dont
know where to put it.
      One thing I have noticed that is doesnt take much transmit time before
those heat sinks get really hot. And doesnt take much time before those fans
kick in and they are noisy.
     Other than that this is one FB Rig.
