[Icom] Icom 781 vs Icom 756PRO II

[Siu Johnny]

Hi Charlie,

Adam in his webpage www.qsl.net/icom gives detailed comments on IC781, =
IC756 and IC756pro2.  A simple A/B comparison between IC781 and =
IC756pro2 indicates that IC781 is behind pro2 in every aspects.  =
Although IC781 was once a flag ship of ICOM, technology is moving so =
fast that it is now far behind.

My comments are given based on real life comparison because one of my =
friends owned six IC781s.  Eventually, he sold all of them and replaced =
with IC756pro2.

My personal comment (in fact personal experience) is 'forget about IC781 =
and go for pro2'.  The extra power from IC781 can be gained back from an =
ICPW-1.
