Thanks for the review. It's very interesting.

I wonder: Why doesn't the Icom 756 Pro III have sync detection? Does
any one know? There has to be some interesting explanation of this,
given that we're talking about a $2000 unit.

More like $3,000. And for $3,000 I can find a way to purchase at least 3 used
Drake R8B's, and possibly have some change left over.

As an amateur rig, yeah it'd be great, but then too, one is going to have to
purchase a linear amplifier, etc.
