[ICOM] Best Icom HF rig

[Adam Farson]

Hi Dick,

Darn! The ghost of my late typist got me again. May she rot!

Re-stating the list: 

In order of preference (per my humble perspective):

IC-7800

IC-756Pro series (Pro3 "best of breed") and IC-746Pro/IC-7400 (taking early
746Pro failures into account)

IC-775DSP (but why did Icom omit the spectrum scope?)

IC-781

IC-765 (fatally flawed by the IF shift mess, but fixable)

IC-756 (in many ways the 775DSP's "little brother")

IC-751A

IC-745

IC-735

IC-740

This ranking does not necessarily mean that each radio listed is vastly
superior to the one(s) below it; I have taken factors such as feature
content and capabilities into account. 

There are additional comments on these links:

I could also come up with a listing for "entry-level" radios.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ
