[ICOM] WHICH TO CHOSE

[Rick Robinson]

I would go with the Pro III. The 781, which was a fine radio, is getting 
old and repair/parts are going to be a problem. The 765 seems to have 
less problems and most are fixable with off the shelf components.You 
already have a great radio in the 765 and the Pro III is now going for 
good prices due to the 7600 replacement. Plus you will have 6 meters to 
enjoy. 73,...........Rick    W8ZT

However, I am thinking of buying either the 756 PRO III or the Icom 781, and to date, could not decide which one to go for. One electronic engineer said that the 781 is to complex and complicationg to repair, but that is only one aspect. Can those, who had the chance of using both or read things on the 2, subscribing to this e-group contribute your opinions on the topic? Thank you and 73.
