eHam Forums / Elmers / Icom 756 PRO III Opinions

I have always been a die-hard IC-765 fan. I owned two of them and never really used the spare unit.
Two weeks ago I took the plunge and purchased a very slightly used 756 PRO III.
Being very honest I had no idea the digital noise reduction could be so good. My trusty old 765 was full of quite expensive filters. I like the idea of not having to purchase them again.
I suppose you can tell my first impressions of my new HF rig are "Why didn't I do this sooner"
I donlt really operate SSB much, but more of a C/W op. What a pleasure.
My recommendation to anyone contemplating this purchase is:
GO FOR IT

eHam Forums / Elmers / LDG RT-11 vs. Icom AH-4

Philip, I have used the AH-4 for several years.
I run about 15' of RG-213 to the coupler and one leg
of a 500' loop to one side of the coupler and the
other leg of the loop to the coupler ground.
Simply stated it works "GREAT", All bands 160 - 6
Using an Icom 746 or an 706 MKIIG. My loop is only up
some 40' and primarily a cloud burner (NVIS) I work
my share of Stateside / DX contacts.
It couples fast and tunes 1.5:1 or lower.
I could not ask for more, I remove it and use in my
P/U at times with a 102" whip and a Hustler Ball Mount
on the rear or a Diamond Tool Box, works F/B there
also. Never tried 160 mobile but tunes 75 fine.
One of the better investments I've made in Ham
Radio since 1965.
Hope this helps a little in your decision making.
