[50mhz] Icom 756PRO on 6 meters

[John Geiger]

I was speaking with someone recently about different
radios, and the topic of the 756PRO series came up.  I
have had an Icom 756 and loved it, and was thinking of
getting a PRO in the not so distant future.  Anyway,
he mentioned that the original 756PRO model is deaf as
a stone on 6 meters?  Is this really true?  The QST
product review numbers do make it look like it doesn't
hear as well as the original 756 when the preamp is
off.
