I just bought one of these in really nice condition, but tell me: Aren't the power, soft keys to left of screen, and numeric keypad supposed to have red lighting?
Hello there first of all thank you for comment.....but there is no red light on the soft button on the left side there is only a red light on the Power switch but the Frequency Buttons has no red light in it ...wish you all the Best Vy73 De Bert PA5HR
Hallo danke fuer deine Comment ja ich muss sagen das ich eigentlich so ganz gut mit dem ICOM756proII arbeiten kann aber habe ich bei diesem ein grosse eigen Rauschen welches ich auch mit der Noise Reduction nicht gefiltert bekomme, ich muss sagen das entaeuscht mich ein bischen aber sonst super Empfang und arbeitet gut kann mit zufrieden sein...danke noch mal Vy73 Gruesse de Bert PA5HR
Absolutely. It has IF DSP which is excellent for filtering. It helps pull those contacts in when conditions are noisy. It has a real signal meter. This is important to many operators. It also has knobs for many common features that more modern rigs have buried in menus. I like big radios and I cannot lie. I’m looking at a pro 2 or 3 in the near future.
@@nigelb5341 that’s exactly the position I’m in. I’ve had a 7300 for over a year and have wanted to fall in love with it but I miss my old analog rig too much. I think I’m going to sell the 7300 and get one of these because it seems to be that perfect blend of analog and digital. I should be head over heels in love with 7300, but the heart wants what the heart wants!
Evergreen radio. I have an Icom 737; it still works well. 73s de HB3XUT
Thank you yes that are almost vintage Radio's but still working fine....Vy 73 Bert PA5HR

Nice radio
Probably a stupid question but are these rigs still relevant in 2024? Ide rather get this than one of the current lineup of rigs 🤔

@@FClark-ov6dz ....funny isn't it, one of the main reasons I like it is for the proper S meter, size and buttons over menu's. 73s
