[1000mp] Pro III -- FT1000MP comparison

[Rob Atkinson]

I have never had a rig with one of those bandscopes which is something 
Icom seems to specialize in.   So i'll be the first to admit i don't 
know what i'm missing.  I always notice that whenever someone with an 
icom rig is talking about the advantages of having one, the bandscope 
is almost always mentioned amongst the first few benefits.   It would 
be an interesting test if a 756pro, proII or ProIII owner would tape a 
paper card over the bandscope part of the TFT and do without it for a 
month or so, and see if his opinion of his rig changes.

73,
