[ICOM] New shipment of IC-746Pro's at AES

[Andre VanWyk]

I have used quite a few of the 746's and 746PRO for a number of years 
including taking them with me on some harsh trips to various parts of the 
world, and I never had a day's problem with the ones I had. I guess some 
people might just end up with a problem radio, but I even heard of people 
having problems with their 7800's, so to label a radio bad because of a 
small percentage of users are having issues, would not do the radio just.

 Would I pay $1999 for one?.....No. But then again, someone might, just like 
the Collins fans would pay up to $3500 for a vintage radio that has 
yesterday's technology.......
