[ICOM] Icom 756PRO receiver performance question

[John Geiger (NE0P)]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the feedback.  Yes it will get alot of use on 6 meters.  The FCC should have made the Orion II include 6 meters before they type accepted it HI HI.

>John, you will not be unhappy with the radio.  As I look at the wall of QSL cards for 6M (yours included), you should note that I was running the 756 Pro.  It is a good radio ... suggest you look at Adam, AB4OJ's site about the Pro series of radios.  Sherwood is a good site also.  Don't forget our own Adam, AB4OJ who has a wealth of info..!

>Maybe in some ways it does not stack with an Orion.  Never used one.  My next will be either a Pro II or Pro III.

>Receivers are like many, some good points some bad points.  Personally I have not performed any tests other than on air.  I like the Pro .... period.  With the PBT and fact you can set filters however YOU want them at the time, is a great plus.  Scope is advantageous.
