The fact that the Icom is from a known local would help me give that serious consideration versus dealing over the internet with someone I didnt know.
![]() ![]() Icom 756 Pro 3 Review Portable With ItAlso, Im not planning on dragging the rig out to field day or going portable with it. It is a fantastic HF rig with a great receiver and transmit audio. The live band scope display is a really nice feature and all the functions youll use 90 of the time are located on the front of the radio and not buried in a menu as on the TS-2000. I think the prices are hanging a little high on used Pro IIs because it is such a good rig. If I had the chance to buy another one in good shape for a reasonable price Id jump all over it. Id never pay any more that 300 on any variant of a used FT-100. He hasnt decided on a price yet, but hes the same fella that sold me the Kenwood TS-520 I have. I jokingly told him Id pay the same (125 bucks) for the Icom. I will have to see what he decides on for asking price, then will make my decision. From what Ive seen, the Pro IIs seem to go for 1200 bucks, and the mic is not a big deal to me since I already have outboard audio gear. Still considering the TS-590, as I really dont like the FT-1200, and the Icom 7410 doesnt really do it for me either. And gee whiz, I still REALLY like the hybrid Kenwoods, and found a real nice TS-830 with speaker and MC-50 locally for a nice price. The Icom is a very nice receiver and the band scope is more useful then on the Yaesu 1200s. I really liked the 950 and would still have it but the chance at the Icom came along. ![]()
