[Icom] 775 - 781 - 756 - others too...

Tony;
	I honestly cant say for sure if the TS-570 is better than the FT-920.  My 
opinion is that my 920 is a very good radio, not a great radio.  I've heard 
reports that within the same price range the ICOM 746 is a very good radio. 
 It also sports 6m which someday I hope to use again.  But that is another 
very long story not suitable for discussion here.

	What more can I say.  Now if I had a choice, I'd probably go for a FT-1K 
MP Mark V as my next upgrade.  I'd have to check that out.  As I said 
before, I get everything I need out of the 920.

73;
