[ICOM] Fw: 756PRO Bleed thru

[George, W5YR]

The 756PRO2 and 746PRO both have a markedly better front end. I can work
within a few kHz or so of my max-power contester neighbor a mile away.

On the PRO, use as much attenuation as you can to minimize front-end
overload.

And your ham neighbor may not have a clean narrow signal  . . .
