HI Greg and all,
Just to clarify at bit, I wouldn't compare the 7600 as a IC-746 less 2m.
The 746 series rigs never had a "real time" bandscope, but the IC-756 Pro 3
and the 7700 are about as real as it gets. If I was going to compare the
7600, I would compare it to an enhanced Pro 3 or a 100 watt 7700. However
that's just my take on it.
The larger displays also serve as nice platforms for plain English menus
(I've always wonder what they do in other countries?) and make nicer
displays for PSK and RTTY if you are not using a computer.
I love great radios, but I would rather I have great antennas (I don't) and
be a great op (sorry to say I am not!).
Now time to fire up the K3 and make some contacts anyway. :-)

I couldn't agree more! This is an IC-746 with a few new features and less
2M. So what? It may be
nice for the casual operator not concerned with DXing or contesting and
cannot afford their 7700.
I don't know first hand, but I understand the scopes on this and the 7700
are not real time. I
just don't see the usefullness if it's not.
Competition for the K3? I think not.
