[ICOM] WHICH TO CHOSE

[Lawrence Young]

Why would anyone choose to buy a 20 year old radio over a new or 3 year old model with better performance and replacement parts availability? Electronic components do indeed age and deteriorate with age. I would recommend the newer model.
 Good Luck, Larry K4LXV.

Hell there!

I have the legendary Icom 765 which was set to Icom about 5 years ago for upgrade and mods. I like it very much and plan not sell it. 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.
