nothing further to add, except its performance still seems to compare well with the current opposition. Also, since I enjoy short wave listening, I want good AM signal reception. IC-756 PRO III HF/50MHz All Mode Transceiver. Here in western Canada, sensitivity is more important than selectivity, because most of the signals heard here are fairly weak.

Noise abatement is a variety of techniques to reduce man made or atmospheric noise. Sensitivity is the ability to hear weak signals. Selectivity is the ability to reject undesired signals and mixing products. This is a combination of selectivity, sensitivity and noise abatement. Aside from the obvious requirement of good quality and reliability.įirst is receiving performance. The IC-756Pro II has a stronger RF front end than the IC-746Pro (IC-7400) or the IC-756Pro.

New Ham Radio Performance Requirementsįor me, there are three things to look for in a new ham radio. The IC-756Pro/Pro II has two independent physical 1st local oscillators (synthesisers), allowing Dual Watch operation (simultaneous reception on two frequencies in the same band and mode). My Microham Microkeyer connected to the ICOM to provide additional control, audio routing and Morse Code features.Īny new ham radio I buy will have to meet or exceed the performance my old radio. In addition, a particularly welcome feature was the computer-generated spectrum display on the screen. Stock 60m band coverage (receive and transmit) IC-756 Pro II: No.

This allows simultaneous display of the filter, memory-keyer and other menus along with a half-size spectrum-scope display. The 756 Pro series were the first ICOM radios to use digital signal processing in the final IF stage. The IC-756Pro III provides a selectable mini-scope display mode. I bought this 756 Pro II on sale when the Pro III was released.
