[Icom] Icom 781 vs. Icom 756PRO II

Hi Tony,

There is a limited amount of help available on-screen. Apart from that,
there is always the user manual!

Cheers for now, 73,

Hi,
What I am wondering is, does Pro II have help menu(button) built-in like
Windows XP?
So many features, who in the world can remember them all?
