Preliminary findings are that it pulls weak, noisy signals out of the noise somewhat better than the Pro2. That evening, I installed the Pro3 in my station. The even presented a little picture of the virtual passband, which changed as you adjusted the knobs. The effect it creates is the ability to both modify in width and shift the effective passband. It is the ability to exploit IF shift at two different IF frequencies from one set of concentric tuning knobs. The PRO 7-iC has the appropriate cable included and will sound wonderful with a Usual mic gain will be set between 65 to Shape factors for all 3 filter settings met or exceeded Icom's advertised specifications.
Great receiver, full coverage through 6 meters. Icom IC-756 Pro II CCFL to LED Part 1 of 3 Back light Conversion. Truly a game changer in the amateur radio transceiver market. Just contact your dealer to get the HSTA Adapter Cable, and the Traveler should work perfectly using the factory default settings on the rig. Set the Transmit Bandwidth to Wide Hzand you will be the talk of the band! The iCM is the perfect match for the iC Set the microphone gain to 70 and with the stock bandwidth of 2. The supplied hand microphone - as ALL hand mics, sounds hollow and mushy. Always adjust mic gain by watching the ALC meter. Monitoring of your signal is particularly important when setting Menu item Q4, which has a huge effect on your transmitted tonal quality.
When using a dynamic element on rigs like iCOMS, which were designed for electret microphone elements, one must not be afraid to do two things: 1 utilize the full range of Mic Gain available, and 2 turn on the Compression, using the Compression Level control as a secondary Mic Gain control if necessary.

This voltage must be blocked for use of Heil Sound dynamic elements. Heil Sound recently introduced the model PR dynamic microphone, which sounds simply wonderful on modern Icoms. If you try to use the ADiC or ADiCM adapter cable on a dynamic-element microphone, the lack of a blocking capacitor will cause the element to seize up, and no output will be heard. The ADI and ADIM include blocking capacitors that prevent the phantom power supplied by the radio from affecting the performance of the dynamic elements. These had no microphone preamplifier, it was built into the microphone. Such BS.For more on the iCOM settings, see below. I hand carried mine back in Business Class and it has been the best radio I have ever owned in 55 years as a ham. The screens can be 'enhanced' with a kit from a VE3. If you can find one in good shape, for cheap, grab it. However, in my low noise, rural location, the and with Pre 1 are almost identical to the PRO with Pre 2 engaged. If you expect a big jump is s-meter level, you will be disappointed, but the newer radios WILL hear weak signals better. So it's not an apples to apples comparison. In addition, using the preamp! The newer Icoms use a downstream gain reduction when using the preamps. Since then, I have added aa and a Kenwood TS to the main position. I bought it in Tokyo while on business, the week it was announced. Today in I can give my latest 'opinion' of the old PRO. In addition, I've acquired radios from almost every company, past and present. The site will be something that everyone involved can be proud to say they were a part of.
