hi - thanks very much to everyone for the many great responses!!!

The votes were overwhelmingly in favor of the IC756ProIII. The band scope (which I have never used) and the twin peak filter are especially intriguing. The need for 12V supply means I might still be hauling around the same mass, but at least in two parts with less desk space required. This is good.

Question: Is anyone using this rig with a switcher like the Astron SS-30 and does it work OK?

Another concern is the roofing filter on the ProIII, being 15KHz. That seems pretty wide. One of the best things I ever did was install the 4KHz InRad roofing filter in the 1000Ds. Splatter problems from noisy nearby stations (especially those dang robots) are simply a thing of the past. I am totally spoiled by this. The recommendations I have received from top stations are compelling, but I would sure like to understand how the ProIII does so well with that wide of a filter. If I look at lab comparisons the ProIII is only above average, but I understand there can be more to that picture.

Individual votes also for the TS-570DG and TS-850 and IC706 and IC746Pro, and a suggestion to look at the IC7000. I think there was some discussion away from the 746 here, which I tend to agree with. Also, I would shy away from the 706 because it is so small - I am not familiar with the rig but if things I want to do quickly are buried in a menu system maybe I don't want that. I would have a similar concern with the 7000 (along with the display size) until I know more about it (but the price is nice!)

I am completely unfamiliar with the Kenwoods, but will keep them in mind. I very much appreciate the recommendations. However, I am going to look into this whole band scope thing first. I have had a couple discussions about that lately and it seems worth looking into.

thanks again to everyone! - jeff wk6i
