All the bells and whistles are nice, but when it comes to performance, I
have not found anything that beats my good ol' TS-130S. A top notch antenna
system will do a lot more for you than all the bells and whistles on a radio
ever could.
I do have a TS-440S/AT in my service truck, but thats only for the
auto-tuner..... and the 440 performs just as well as the 130 in the truck or
the shack.

sigh I suppose if you got a lot more $$$ than you know what to do with,
you can buy the latest and greatest toys.

Hi

I am considering the purchase at some point, of a 746, PRO or original
746.
I know the pro has all the filters as standard, but I have heard some
mixed comments, that the older 746 overall is better?? Is the
receiver sensitivity + noise floor on HF about the same with each rig,
or have some found this not to be the case? Also I've heard some talk
about the 746pro, sharing the same, or similar receiver
characteristics as the 756 pro?

I know the 2m performance is not the best with either radio, but id be
primarily be using the radio on HF. I am leaning toward the original,
but am welcome to comments, and advice.

Thank You
