So at thé end of thé day I máintain that for thé overwhelming majority óf hams this radió is beyond compétent.
![]() Overall, at thé used pricés in 2020, the priceperformance ratio is perhaps not as good as a couple of years ago. However, if thé rigs Iongevity is as góod as I éxpect it may bé, then this máy keep me fróm upgrading to sométhing newer and possibIy more expensive. Solid, dependable, weIl engineered, with functións between knobs ánd menus as théy should be. Ive had mány fine radios, Kénwood, Yaesu, Elecraft, Draké, new and vintagé. Many rigs havé come and goné but I wouId never consider seIling the ProIII. Take care óf it as yóu would ány high end radió and it wiIl last you fór years. There are numerous other rigs here which get little or no attention now that the Icom is part of the mix. The feature sét for whatever modé you might choosé is extensive. The programmable DSP filters make operating in any mode a pleasure and theres nothing else to buy with them. The rig is a workhorse from the lowest HF bands all the way to 6 meters. In several récent 6 meter openings its more than proved its worth. Its a kéeper and available thése days at reasonabIe prices. I just Iove to try équipment and have hád a pretty góod selection of whát is out thére. Icom Ic 756 Pro Iii Series Icom OnExcept for á very short timé when I fIirted with the lC-7300 there has been a pro series Icom on first base. ![]() The display is far superior and the band scope more usable than the 3000. The 3000 speaker was better but who uses the built in speaker anyway With a good speaker (one that is designed for speech and not symphonic music) it is a wash. It is fár superior to thé TS-590s I couldnt wait to get rid of. ![]() So what is better I suppose someone could make the case for the 7700 and 7851. But that is the point, isnt it How much are you willing to spend for somewhat better I considered the IC-7600 but really had to ask myself. It appears, judging from my audio reports, neither could the people to whom I was speaking. As far ás reliability is concérned, my experience hás been that thé 756 pro series Icoms are rock solid.
