Default Icom 746 Pro as SW Receiver

Anyone here have any real-life experience using the 746 or 756 as an
SWL receiver? If so, I'd love to hear about it.


The 746Pro makes a great SWL DX receiver. I think it is better than a
756 Pro. I have not tried the 756 Pro II or III.

The ergonomics on the JRC NRD545 are much better than the 746Pro. Or
just about an receiver I have used.

In terms of DX performance & audio recovery.... the 746Pro is really
hard to beat.

All IMHO

Also the VHF coverage on the 746Pro includes the Military "Victor" Air
to Air band. Approx 138-143 mhz. If you have any MilAir communications
in your area the AM receive on these signals is fantastic.


BTW soda if you would like to look at my modest listening shack go to
www.QRZ.com and lookup my callsign kg4big as I have a picture there.
