[Icom] 756 II Pro questions

[Mike Brown]

With Dayton not being too far away, and at a rare time when I
should have the money to spend, I have been thinking about
buying a new 756 Pro II. I'd like to know if there are any
reliability issues with it, since I have heard about some with
the 746 Pro. Also, does the "monitor" feature work like it
should? I had a 746 (original model) and the monitor feature in
it was basically useless. Also, one thing that really turned me
off with the 746 was the SWR foldback was extreme. At 1.5:1, it
would cut back to 50 watts out. Does the display have any
problems?

Thanks in advance...
