[Icom] Rig advice

Hi Larry,

Just my personal comments.  IC756 (original) has already been better than
IC-765.  Therefore, applying the same logic, IC756 proII should be better.
Please visit Adam AB4OJ's web page at www.qsl.net/icom.  You would get an
answer.

While external AF DSP unit is good (I use a Clear Speech Unit with my
IC756), it cannot be compared with IF DSP where you have a whole range IF
filter selection.  The IF DSP filter of IC756 pro II is within AGC loop so
that pumping effect by surrounding big guns has been much reduced.  With
advancement of electronic technology, the drawbacks previously facing IF DSP
filters have been gradually overcome.

It would be a big jump in performance if you replace your IC765 with IC756
proII.  Clearly, I do not say that your IC765 is of no good but the IC756
family is better.

I'd appreciate some advice from IC-765 & IC-756ProII users. I currently
have an IC-765 which is in near to perfect condition.

Should I...
1) Hang onto the 765 perhaps adding a good audio DSP unit or,
2) Upgrade to the 756.

Thanks
