Just an FYI, last year at the local show I got a 746pro that was DOA, called and emailed, met them before they went home, they exchanged no issue; were pleasant though hardly apologetic. This year bought 756proII, AF cuts out..said, nothing we can do, call Icom...went round and round, Icom said nothign wrong...(even after their local repair center said it was faulty) 4 months later Icom says tell dealer to call sales and ask for new rig or money back, I called, they said call us back, I did. They said well ship (again 4th ship and on my dime) to us if doesn't work will refund. Yesterday I call, they say oh, well you want the good news or the bad...obviously I said both; "Well it did fail but they want to only replace it, no refund; but here's what we can do for you...we'll ship you a new MarkVfield or TS2000 that you asked about instead" Oh so I paid over $2200 and you'l send me a $1499 or $1749 radio instead with no refund of the difference? "Yeah". I'm really still in shock they even suggested that. I declined and called Icom. I can't say as I'm very impressed with either of them right now. Sorry if I expect a radio to work and/or be repaired, to not be put out, paying for shipping all over, to be told it's ok when it's not, and to get little to no support from my dealer; who then wants to send me a $700 cheaper radio without a refund of the difference. I'm out $2500 now for 4 months, and I've nothing except a "free ps-125" they want me to pay to ship them in order to get my refund which Icom finally authorized verbally to me last evening. Today I get a fax, no call saying "Send back manual and pwersuppl" I fax back saying, will be boxed, let me know when call tag issued. The reply, unsigned "NO YOU Need to ship ALL to Me NO Call TAG From US".... Very nice eh?!
