[ICOM] Comparison

[Anders Janis SM4RNA]

I have a friend who got a 775DSP with inrad filters for $1500 in the US , I think on e-bay or similar a while ago. I think prizes whent down as 746PRO / 7400 was intoduced, but prizes on the 775 is going upp again.

I think PA1HR is more up to date with the ecomomics. I focus on the tech. ;)
