I am pleased to have available this Like brand 
new, in the box Icom IC-756PROIII top end HF 
Transceiver for sale along with 12 month warranty.
I have used the PROIII myself for some time and 
am very impressed by its performance actually 
preferring it over and above the 7800, its price 
is realistic, especially considering the more 
expensive 7600 is really no better than this rig.
Recently discontinued which is a shame as this is 
one of my favorite transceivers.
Supplied with the manual, mic, Power Lead, and box .
