Ed, I used to have a 570SG.  Good radio, good on 6M.  Now have a 756 Pro.
Would I go back to the 570SG.  No..!  The DSP in the 570 is good, but
nothing like having the ability to tailor your filters as you do with the
756 Pro.  You can only add one filter to the 570SG.  With the 756 Pro, you
don't need to add any.

By the way, came from a Collins S-3 Line (75S-3 is a darn good
receiver...!!)  Audio out of the S-3 was great.  Audio out of the 570 was
good.  Audio out of the Pro...darn good.!  If you add a good external
speaker.

I use the Pro on 6 quite a bit.  Not a bad radio.  For some reason, my Pro
does have a few more birdies on 6 than the 570SG.  Antenna is a 5 element at
35' and works fine.
