[ICOM] Comparison

[we1x at comcast.net]

Had a 761 (not 765) for several years.  A great radio back in the late '80s and '90s.  In 1996 I bought a 775dsp and loved it.  Like an idiot I sold it 3 years ago.  Regretted it ever since.  Finally a few months ago found a mint unit from one of the last production runs and grabbed it.  Receiver is quiet.  Enough flexibility to tailor transmit and receive audio the way I like it.  Ergonomically great.  Selectivity with filters is just fine.  Enjoyed it much better than my 756 Pro which I eventually sold. The 775 is staying in the shack.
