[Icom] IC-756PROII vs FT-1000MP MARK-V

Hans-

I agree with your comments about the *Emotional* aspects of radios. Even
though I really like my 756 Pro more and more as I learn to use it properly,
when I first got it, it seemed like a "toy" compared to the 775DSP and the
781 I had previously--both of which functioned flawlessly. Still think I
prefer a radio with an integrated power supply though--it just seems more
"professional" :-)
