[Icom] 756 II Pro questions

Wed May 5 18:07:36 EDT 2004

Not a single problem in nearly two years with my PRO2 - or with my 746PRO in
about a year. Or with the PRO I used for about 2 years before trading for
the 746PRO.

The original 746 radio is completely unlike the current generation of IF-DSP
radios.
