Hi Jerry.

I almost envy you.  That radio had a first class receiver in it.  I had the 
original '751 back in 1988, and the receiver was hot on it.  The original 
Icom IC751 had some real reliability issues and that is why I ended up 
getting rid of it--in fact I didn't even make it off the warranty before I 
had sent it back for repair three times.  On the third pass, I told AES to 
keep it and send me a Kenwood TS680S instead, which they did.

When it worked, though, it sounded great.  The receiver was quite sensitive 
and the noise was nice and low on that radio.

I think you'll have fun, and I've been told by a number of people that Icom 
really cleaned up the problems with that radio when they came out with the 
"A" version.
