[Icom] IC-746PRO vs IC-756PRO

Mon, 10 Mar 2003 18:00:38 -0800

John,

I have a 756Pro, purchased in July 2000, and a Pro2, purchased may 2002. I
have never seen screen lines on either. The IC-756 LCD screen did have
lines.

As far as I recall, the IC-746 and IC-7400 (746Pro) use a dot-matrix LCD
display which is probably not subject to lines as in the old 756.

Replacement LCD modules for the IC-756 are still available in Japan and
Europe.

Best 73,

Has anyone noticed the screen line problem on the
756PRO yet?  Or did they fix this?  Also, has it ever
appeared on the 746AMATEUR?  I think that was a
different colored screen
