On eHam several Icom IC-746 Pro users mention having to send their
rigs in for repair due to no TX and other issues. I am leaning
toward the Kenwood from a reliablility point of view eventhough the
Icom has slightly better numbers and 2m band....

I am having a heck of a time choosing between these three rigs. Any
personal experiences or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Yaesu FT-920 (incl YF116A & FM-1)
Kenwood TS-570S (incl YK-88SN-1 SSB filter)
Icom IC-746 Pro (no addons)

I am looking for reliability vs bells and whistles.....

Thanks in advance.....

I currently run the FT920. Quietest receiver I have ever heard, next to my
TS850S.
