Keep the manual handy to do minor things like set the clock. Icom did not support the 746 for very long and now the they are doing it with thePro series according to reviews. I had a IC-746 which was a really good rig until the finals blew. Let me say that I have a bad taste in my mouth with Icom. I sold my Kenwood 570 since I was expecting a super rig with the Pro. I got my Pro from a neighbor when he became a SK. But if you can find one at a decent price, BUY IT!!! The IC-756 ProII in my opinion is BETTER than the newer IC-7300 and many other radios. But this is definitely not a deal breaker. With a menu/numerical, I could simply set it to 15, 75, or whatever setting/power I needed. With a knob instead of a menu numerical setting, I have to test power out before transmitting into amp. I use different amps, and each requires a different amount of input RF power.
Everything is basically on the front panel. My only complaint, but it's strictly a personal thing, is that I prefer a menu to change output power instead of a knob. Excellent mic audio with mic gain and Compression.
make this one of the best receivers I've ever had. Isolates noise superbly and allows me to hear QSO's that my Yaesu loses in the noise. Couldn't be more please.įull power out 105+/- watts. I was able to get this one mint condition for $800. A ProII if you can find them is still around $1,000. New, the ProII and ProIII are close to $2,900. Unfortunately, customers are still very proud of their used IC-756's and the price. When first produced, it was one of the best radios on the market.
