[Icom] IC-756 Pro II vs Yaesu FT-1000D

[icom@mailman.qth.net]

Hello Joe,

Yes, I did a lot of A/B comparisons between the IC-756ProII and the
FT-1000D.

Both are excellent transceivers, IMHO.

The display, the huge filterchoice, the NR, the spectrum scope and the Twin
PassBandTuning are excellent points of the ProII. I use this rig mainly for
digital modes and on 50 MHz. I think this ProII is one of the most advanced
and innovating rigs been made. It is easy to take this rig along, e.g. on a
fieldday or holidays.

For SSB I use my 1996 1000D with Inrad filters 2800, 2100, 400/500 and 250
Hz. It is a pleasure to listen to its receiver which is very quite and has
an optimal 4 IF's selectivity. The real independent second receiver is an
excellent feature of this rig. The PA delivers between 200 and 225 Watt
power output. The heavy flywheel-weighted tuningknobs are the best I ever
felt!

I love both rigs and will keep both of them.

Has anyone performed an A/B comparison of the two radios? I have a Pro II,
which is much better than the Mark V I had (sold it), but I would like to
know how the Pro II measures up to the FT-1000D.


Thanks!
