What do you consider expensive?
Icom - I can barely Monitor - you get what you paid for!
You should have known that it was a POS before you bought it.
Hey, guess what? ICOM did the exact same thing with the 746 PRO.
A recall that would have cost them a couple of thousand dollars, but would have did a lot to fix the collateral damage that they did when they never admitted that there was a problem in the first place and quietly walked away, changed the design and the model number and brought it right back again in a different looking package.

The 756 is nothing but an over-glorified CB radio.
It attracts those that are attracted to different colored lights and blinking displays! The cool factor - you got what you paid for! You might have just as well bought a new Galaxy from Redmans CB shop - with the peek n tune.
Lord knows you got to have a dead key and swing and LOUD audio..

Next time buy a Kenwood TS 590 - they don't have all these problems!
