Nothing untoward to recall. Now owned the Pro111 for 16 months. I am not a contester, just an occassional DXer and rag chewer.It is an easy rig to use and soon becomes instinctive.You dont have to keep delving into the menus once it is set up to your liking.This is an update. But it depends of course on what your priorities are. I don't feel any need to upgrade at all at present.Earlier 5-star review posted by G4RNW on Still go strong - So Far ! My only minor niggle is the tiny power adjustment pot, otherwise it has not dissapointed so far! I can't see myself trading this in, in the hear future.I would still recommned this rig, even though it is no longer the latest technology.
Getting good reports on audio. Effective, but then they never are. DSP can distort a little but not serious and NB not v.
Only thing I notice is that the fluorescent screen takes a little longer to hit full brightness. I for one am not the least tempted to trade up to it, although I have no doubt the 7600 would not disappoint.I Still have this rig and continue to enjoy using it. I would be surprised if it warrants the extra cost.
Adjustable filters are effective.-the lcd and backlight on this rig are bright, but I wonder if/when that might change, since that fault seems to occur on these rigs with many hours of use. Based on this, I'm upping my rating to 4.99 ! Overall, these are well made rigs , still viable and should remain so for a long time.Having spent just a few days with this rig, here are my initial findings.-size, weight, looks and construction are all good and exude a certain 'quality'.-knob and function buttons are all placed in a similar Icom arrangement to previous models, so no new 'learning' required.-the spectrum scope is usable but slow to refresh-receive and tuning are very good - the noise reduction works, though not as good as newer Icom rigs. I must admit being tempted by newer rigs seeing - and hearing - what offer possibly a more refined experience - however, at a much, much higher price. At this age, all issues have been revealed and there are a few which are well known and still generally fixable and/or updateable, and except for the pre-driver for the finals, are still available. The prior owner really pampered it and everything is original, including the screen and backlight circuit.

The display is far superior and the band scope more usable than the 3000. Is it better than an FTDX-3000? IMO, yes. Except for a very short time when I flirted with the IC-7300 there has been a pro series Icom on first base.Was this radio "better" than the 7300? Probably not in lab testing but I kept going back to it anyway. I just love to try equipment and have had a pretty good selection of what is out there. In that regard, it's a win !So this is my second 756 pro series radio. Newer rigs likely excel in performance.However, if the rigs longevity is as good as I expect it may be, then this may keep me from 'upgrading' to something newer and possibly more expensive.
The layout makes good sense. It is far superior to the TS-590s I couldn't wait to get rid of.The controls are intuitive and very easy to use. The 3000 speaker was better but who uses the built in speaker anyway? With a good speaker (one that is designed for speech and not symphonic music) it is a wash.
This was a fairly expensive radio new and at today's used prices, a serious bargain. It appears, judging from my audio reports, neither could the people to whom I was speaking.As far as reliability is concerned, my experience has been that the 756 pro series Icoms are rock solid.So at the end of the day I maintain that for the overwhelming majority of hams this radio is beyond competent. Will I see/hear the difference? The pushing $1000.00 difference? I had the original 756 pro and I could not raise my right hand and swear that side-by-side under just about every normal operating condition, including contests, I could hear the difference. But that is the point, isn't it? How much are you willing to spend for "somewhat better"? I considered the IC-7600 but really had to ask myself. The FTDX-5000, maybe somewhat.
Buy one of these then you decide whether to keep it. But we will not hear the difference and in all but the rarest of circumstances, neither will you. $13K for a 7851 is a real impressive statement. When I kick off my net control duties it is my go to rig.You can spend a lot more money on your rig and we will all act duly impressed.
The result is a nice bright LCD display that looks like new. It comes with a driver board that can be powered from the back of the display board. I found an ultra thin LED strip that fits inside the LCD panel itself and runs off 12V. I started looking at ways to eliminate the need for the HV inverter circuit altogether. So if the inverter coil goes, the radio is basically useless, unless you use Ham Radio Deluxe or some other software to read the frequency.As I was concerned about this, I decided to be proactive.
The Yaesu is a good radio, but without a live waterfall, like the Icom 7300, it's just a gimmick. If you can find one at a good price, grab it, you won't regret it.I'm more than happy to do this upgrade for others, you can email me for pricing.Earlier 5-star review posted by VE3TMT on I recently took an Icom 756PROIII on trade for my Yaesu FTDX-1200. Now, I never have to worry about the display failing.Operating the PROIII is pure joy. I also disable the HV circuit which probably eliminates some receiver noise, not that you hear it in the first place.
On SSB you can dial the RX out to 3.6KHZ and set up three different customizable bandwidths on the fly. On RTTY, the built in dual filter is a big asset during weak band conditions. On CW or PSK31, you can narrow the bandwidth down to 50Hz, without any ringing whatsoever.
