[ICOM] No longer supported radios

[bonddaleena at aol.com]

I have a 706g I hand carried back from Tokyo. The NB works perfect. As well as the one in my 761. The NB in the 756PRO is NFG.
The monochrome display was used in the 756 not the 756PRO. FWIW

    The NB in the 706 rigs was notorious for being poor from the very 
eginning. . The DSP in the MKIIG was quite a bit better but not great 
ither.
   One problem with stuff made in JA (other than vehicles) is good luck 
etting parts more than a few years after they are out of production. 
he monochrome screen in the 756PRO has been unavailable for some time 
nd is a common failure. On cars sold in the US market, the manufacturer 
s required to stock parts for a good number of years.

 Is the 706 original no longer supported by Icom?  I will agree that it is a 
 good radio for what you can get them for.  I sure like the one I have-if 
 only the NB would work better.
