[ICOM] Icom IC-756ProIII or TS-850SAT???

[Sandy Taylor]

Hi Brian,
I have the P3 and 850 side by side. I ran my 850 again as a main radio while
awaiting the insurance claim on the Pro to go through and get my P3.

The 850 is an excellent, excellent radio, but it is still outshone by the
P3. The quietness of the P3, the flexibility of the DSP-based filters, the
spectrum scope, the memory keyer, the voice keyer with memory, the dynamic
range of the receiver and the available tailoring of TX audio...

I was surprised when I went to pick up my P3 at how much heavier it was
compared with the PRO. The added engineering is quite evident.

Hi Everyone --

I'm salivating more and more over an Icom IC-756ProIII as time goes on, and
am eyeing my Kenwood TS-850SAT with filters as a possible sale to partially
fund the ProIII.

Despite being an older radio, the 850 is known be many to be one of the best
receivers and transmitted audio out there.  On the other hand the ProIII is
known for its excellent DSP and spectrum scope.

I'm wondering if anyone could share their candid opinion on the 850 versus
the ProIII.  I'm particularly interested in those who have owned/used both
radios for themselves.

I'm really reluctant to part with my 850, but am anxious to own a ProIII,
too.  Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to have my cake and eat it
too!
