[ICOM] FT-9000 - Hello ICOM!

[George, W5YR]

I kinda agree, Mike. My 765 still sits on the operating desk along with
three others and will likely never leave.

Interesting that I paid more for the 765 in 1990 than I did for my PRO2!
And the PRO2 will run rings around the 765 in every area except QSK.
