[ICOM] IC-7000 AGC; IC-756Pro vs. IC-7000

[cj_bonde at netidea.com]

Adam:
Thank you for response.  I think that I shall be keeping the 756PRO for
awhile now.   Maybe I could retrieve the 754(?) I had but never operated
and and with the 735 have something to go towards the 7000.  I need to
downsize the stuff I have.

No one seems to build nowadays.  I have a number a parts of tuners plus
much more.  Oh well, c'est la vie.

I would not give up the real time scope for anything.
