[ICOM] Was Excellent price on PRO3 now re Icom 761

[Mark Spencer]

Re the 761 I own and use one.  While I like the simple user interface, built in power supply, built in filters, etc and find the radio to be a pleasure to use I'm under no illusions as to it's performance vis a vis modern high end radios.

The simple and easy to use user interface is a major plus for me.  That being said at times I've found my Icom 706MKIIG (with the narrow SSB filter and 350Hz RTTY filter) does a better job in crowded band conditions that the 761.  Your mileage may vary (:
