[Icom] 756proII General operation and Bandscope

[Tom Crawford]

Hello to the list,

I don't want to start a war here but...... :)
The 756 ProII and the TS-2000 are on my short list for a new state of the
art rig.

The TS-2000 sure seems to offer a lot of capability for the money but the
controls seem cramped.
I really like the idea of the ICOM's band scope and my general impression is
that the ICOM control panel is less crowded.  (I've never had a hands on
opportunity with either instrument.)

I am questioning whether or not I'll be able to discern a performance
difference between these two instruments.  But I've witnessed a lot of
experience on this list so, any opinions are appreciated.

Specifically - DOES the bandscope really work as claimed and do you really
find it useful?

thanks in advance,
tom
