[CQ-Contest] IC-746PRO -- evil incarnate or not?

[Igor Sokolov]

I would prefer TS850 over IC746 for contest radio. Having said that
there is slightly better one in the same price class. That is IC-765.
I would prefer IC-765 over 850 not only because of more suitable size
and slightly better dynamic range, but also becase I hate the lack of
the CLEAR RIT button in TS850.

850.

,too :-).

950SDX,
