I had the IC756PRO series from 2001 to last August and at first I was impressed with the scope function but in a short time I found that it was not terribly useful but was fun to look at. It was lacking a waterfall capability which the P3 (as well as PowerSDR-IF) had which makes all the difference. Also, the bandwidth displayed by the 756PRO is much less than that capable of the P3 and PowerDDR-IF. I'm afraid that the scope display of the 756PRO doesn't come close to the usefulness P3, from what I've seen, or to PowerSDR-IF.
