Tom,

Be advised that the GOOD filters on the IC756proII are only available in the LSB-D modes not in the RTTY. So we must have a new generation of designers who have not operated the radios they design. Like so many other products we get lots of neat-to-design bells and whistles but the basic functionality is lacking (operating systems come to mind) hi

So far I am very disappointed in the way YAESU set up the MV FIELD
filter selections for RTTY. They CLEARLY do not understand - are not
knowledgeable of - RTTY contesting needs. All the digital modes need to
have the same access to filter selection that the CW mode does. How they
ever came to any differenct conclusion is almost mind boggling.  Had I
fully realized and understood the limitations of this radio with regard
to filter selection alone, I would have bought the ICOM PRO II. But I've
always been a big Yaesu fan and thought, for sure, there'd be a way
around this problem. So far, I sure can't find it. What a bummer!
