I had a chance to play with one of those the other day....nice rig...a bit
large, but not bad...this particular one didn't have a voice chip installed
though...but the user friendliness of the rig appealed to me...much more so
then the IC756PRO's they have at the same club location.
good receiver in it as well...it was out doing a 756 that was using a 3
element beam, the 940 was using just a dipole.
