[ICOM] good older Icom???

[Tom Norris]

Everyone's suggestions were good ones, but for the price
of this used 756 classic, I've seen nearly new 746 Pro's go
for about the same price. In fact, there is one listed for
$900 "buy it now" Bear in mind this model "can" have a
problem with "no transmit" but it is still a darned good
radio that could give the 756Pro and Pro 2 a run for their
money, PLUS it has the two meter band.
