[ICOM] ICOM 756 Pro info request

[Joe - WDØM]

Hi Mac,

I had a 756 Pro since they came out - zero problems.  The display issue 
was with the original 756 (non-Pro version) if I recall.  My Pro worked 
313 countries in just a few years.  Loved every minute of it.  I 
recently sold it to acquire an IC-7700, but would buy it back in a heart 
beat.  Your friend will enjoy it - a great value at around $1000-1100 
these days.

73,
