[ICOM] 751A

[John Geiger (NE0P)]

I don't hear alot of extra white noise on the 756, NB on, NR about 1/2 way up, usually with headphones.  And I have a pretty crummy pair of headphones while much too high of a frequency response.  Can't comment on the 751A or 781 as I have not owned either.  Did think the 740 had a pretty quiet receiver.
