Hear Hear. I just cannot understand what is going on in the ICOM engineering labs. If you are an ARRL member, go the product review pages. Look at the dynamics numbers for:
IC746 IC756 IC756Pro IC746Pro IC756ProII The packaging and the features became richer but the receivers get WORSE as you go down in that list. It is just inexcuseable engineering. These tests should be the standard part of every engineering design for an amateur transceiver at the factory and if you cannot improve the numbers, the LEAST you should do is get them to equal the last model. ICOM has not improved AT ALL on the IC-781. Bob -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gene A.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, N6KR and WA6HHQ. 73 "YW" Gene, N7YW K2 #3876 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
