[ICOM] QST - 7600

[Jan Robbins]

I would certainly think Hans is right, that 7600/7700/7800 receiver 
performance is "very
close".  Simply looking at the circuitry suggests that.  Still, on-air 
performance at this QTH, plus
some external professional testing, favored the 7700.  On the other 
hand, look at the price tags of the three radios.  If performance
of all three is "very close," and you don't need 200w output, why 
wouldn't the 7600 be the "best buy?"
