[ICOM] Pro 3 and 7000 Tests by Sherwood

[Bill Tippett]

NE0P:

 >It is interesting that the 756PRO3 has slightly worse performance 
(probably within margin of error) as compared to the 756PRO.  Can 
anyone else confirm that they are so close in receiver 
performance?  Most evidence seems to say otherwise.

         Independent measurements confirm
an identical result.  The following is
a summary of ARRL Product Test results
from QST, although the spacing is at 5
kHz instead of 2 kHz.

The Pro is best, with the Pro 3 next and
then the Pro 2 (IMD DR3 at 5 kHz).

         I would probably call them
identical as far as what your ears will
hear.  4 dB differences are academic
but differences of 10 dB or more becomes
significant.
