I have a buddy who just bought a second hand 756 PRO II. He is really proud of it. I had to keep my mouth shut. The PRO II spectrum scope is almost useless compared to the PowerSDR panadaptor. I guess for someone who upgraded from the 746, the spectrum scope is heaven. Nuff said! 73, Steve N6VL

Having both a 756 PRO II and 5000 side by side, I can compare them on a daily basis. The spectrum scope on the PRO series is probably one of the most useful features on a model of this type. However, unlike the 5000, the 756 PRO series spectrum scope is not a point and click scope, so it's
