[Icom] Icom 756 Pro II Speaker Options

[Jim Gerke]

Jim,

I highly recommend the Yaesu SP-8. It's their equivalent to Icom's SP-20
but, IMHO, is much better. It has the most flexible audio tailoring I've
ever seen in an accessory speaker and it costs a lost less than the
SP-20. Unlike the SP-20, the SP-8 is really black in color and matches
the newer Icoms much more nicely.

I bought my SP-8 about 5 or 6 years ago to match an FT-920 that I
purchased at the same time. I disposed of the 920 long ago but have hung
on to the speaker and used it with a TS-850, IC-775DSP, and IC-756Pro.
It's the best speaker with audio filtering I've ever had.
