Hi Anthony;
I will be curious to see how you like the new icom.  Generally, what 
wonderful things does it do that the 746 pro didn't do?

Hi Everyone;

Well, I took the plunge and purchased an ICOM IC-7000 yesterday.

It does have a lot of menus however, I'm going to make a BRAILLE sheet of
the menus and, depending what the options do in a particular menu, I should
be able to figure out where I am.

The speech has a little more life to it with a higher pitch for the voice.

It reads the usual s-meter readings, frequency and, the mode such as AM or
FM or CW or RTTY.

I'll let all of you know how I make out.

If anyone has this radio or, if you have any ideas that I could be more
productive with, please let me know.

Also, I can read the face of the radio reasonably well with my OPTACON.
