Still, they are all we have to measure signals, and they are often quoted. S meters are not calibrated against an absolute signal strength reference. I think we have all learned that S meters are, at best, relative signal strength indicators. So, for me, spending the extra money made sense. On top of that, there is the color display and a number of other enhancements. Contesting on the IC-756 Proīut if there were more slots, it seems as if I would need to add 6 or so filters to be able to get the SSB and CW selectivity choices I would like. Of course this is not even possible because the has a single filter slot at each IF frequency. Ajpw hacksįor me, I decided that the upgrade cost made sense because of the equivalent cost of the filters necessary to turn a into a PRO. In fact, given the cost difference between the two radios, I think that both are well worth their respective prices. I really do not want to give the impression that either radio is bad. Because I am comparing two radios here, it may appear as if one is good and one is bad. A few of my observations are contained at the end of this page. The ghost and the darkness netflixĪs of this writing, the radio is still quite new, and comments and observations are just starting to emerge. If you have any of your own observations, please email me, and I will add them to the list if appropriate. This gave me an opportunity to compare both radios side-by-side.
