That's what old age will do for you! Now I remember the "G" stands for DSP.

Well, it's so intuitive, isn't it... G for DSP...

I like all of the radios mentioned, but I would have to go with the Icom in
this instance.

I'm trying to decide between the Kenwood TS570SG and the Icom IC746pro.

I realize this is one of those Chevy vs. Ford debates, but would someone
care to convince me either way?

I think you've nailed it as far as different people having different
opinions.
Personally, I would prefer Kenwood over Icom, but find that Kenwood has
not
been keeping up in recent years.

Consider that the IC-746Pro is more expensive than the TS-570. Unless
cost is
a deciding factor, one might expect the Icom to be better.

One thing I would consider, is whether the DSP operates at the audio level
or
at the IF level. I believe the Kenwood's DSP is audio only, but I'm not
sure
about the Icom. Reviews I've read indicate the IF DSP is superior, and
that
audio DSP leaves a strong background noise that can be tiring to listen
to.

brochure at Kenwood's website, for example.

The original models were TS570S and TS570D.

If you are blind and need a good talking radio get the 570SG, but if you do
not need the talker, HANDS DOWN get the 746. I do not think you need to
spend the extra money for the pro. You will have 100 watts out on HF, 6
meter and 2 meters. ALL MODE..
Also you will have a Fishfinder Display. :-)

Had them both, love the 746.
