Frankly, John, for the oney you can't beat the TS-2000.
You'll get more coverage and more features on the 2000 compared with the 746Pro.
And, I don't think the receive performance is much different with the 746 and
weighed against its difficult menu navigation, the 2000 is a better deal.
If you're really more into contesting, then you might look at the 756Pro, but of
course, you give up VHF for that rig and paty almost twice what you would for a
2000.

Well, given that I"m looking like I might improve my financial situation
with in the next year enough to buy a new HF radio, I like the sound of the
746 pro on the air, but after a review, if you will, like this one, I'm back
to my original thought of the TS-2000. I think I might have to talk some one
in to a ride up to HRO where I can really sit down and play with the 746 pro
and TS-2000 between now and then. Not sure if I could be happy with the 480
but if the price came down some, it could be a backup radio down the road a
few years, there's just a lot I don't care for on that radio though if I was
going mobile HF I might be considering it.
