[ICOM] Fan on 756PRO

[Ken Kinyon]

Hi John,
After following your equipment history from afar, and having benefited from it
on at least a couple of occasions by getting a great deal on equipment that you
have decide to divest, I feel I owe it to you to impart my advice.  If you think
the 756PRO is a good radio, skip a couple upgrades and get the PROIII. It is in
a class all by itself, the best radio I have ever  owned. ( however I won't
spend over $10,000 on a transceiver).
73,
Ken W7TS
