[ICOM] IC-756PRO Dualwatch

[AD5VJ Bob]

That's a good point John:

I like Adams site because it gives a lot of views and Adam
gives the facts.

I just wish the windows would open up in a new window so I
wouldn't loose my place every time I go to read something
else.

Your absolutely right though about the two groups not
really caring about the 2 meter aspect and about the
significant changes.

Cant wait to get this radio, one thing is for sure I have
noticed in the copious readings I have done for the last
three days, people seem to either love the radio or
profusely complain about it.

But it more seems to be the none hams (swl's) and the
"high quality audio" guys that are having the most to
complain about.

I just want to be able to get the little DX station in the
farthest reaches of the world who is running a dipole and
50W off of his home made battery from his tent in the
country of "No Bodies Heard Of" Hi Hi

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
