Back cover photo of the new IC-756PRO and some details  I think their marketing department has gone a little "overboard" with the statement "The greatest thing to hit HF since ... (a picture of sliced bread)" and comparing "CDs versus vinyl albums".  Oh well, maybe it will sell radios.

73 and good reading,
