European dealers are quoting prices in the €3100 range. The Canadian dealer price is under CAD 3300. dealers are offering the IC-756Pro III at under $3000. The IC-756Pro III is not fitted with a port for the connection of an external TFT monitor.
ICOM IC 756 PRO II PANADAPTER UPGRADE
Unlike the IC-7800, the IC-756Pro III does not offer firmware upgrade capability.
ICOM IC 756 PRO II PANADAPTER PRO
There is no change in appearance or basic operation as compared to the Pro II. The feature enhancements in the IC-756 Pro III (Items 2 - 8) are incremental with respect to the IC-756Pro II. The IC-756Pro III will offer a screen saver similar to that incorporated in the first IC-7800 firmware upgrade. ( Editor's Note: No, Geraldine, there is no "secret menu" to extend the upper audio-frequency limit beyond 2.9 kHz!) In conjunction with the bass/treble equalisation menu (also offered in the IC-756Pro II), this new feature offers great flexibility in configuring transmit audio. This will permit the operator to configure his own custom WIDE/MID/NAR selections by "mixing & matching" low and high roll-off points. In the IC-756Pro III, it will be possible to program each of the three settings individually with the following preset cutoff frequencies: The lower and upper -6dB points of the transmitted audio-frequency response are fixed for each setting. The IC-756 Pro II provides three selectable TOBW settings: WIDE/MID/NAR. Programmable transmitted occupied bandwidth (TOBW) settings The new symbol is provided even with the memory keyer enabled. Autotuner coverage of Japanese emergency-communications frequency (4.350 MHz) in JA version "Stock" 60m band coverage (receive and transmit) This allows simultaneous display of the filter, memory-keyer and other menus along with a half-size spectrum-scope display. The IC-756Pro III provides a selectable mini-scope display mode. The IC-756 Pro II spectrum scope display occupies the lower half of the screen. Paolo Odone I1ODP has measured IP3 on his IC-756Pro III, using two crystal-controlled test-signal sources. (Reported by several new IC-756Pro III owners.) The initial element truncation above 20 wpm has been eliminated. Greatly improved Noise Reduction performance. The fundamental-type crystal filter, as opposed to a filter using 3rd- or 5th-overtone crystals, will have a better shape factor and be less susceptible to intermodulation under strong-signal conditions. Uses a fundamental-type SMD monolithic crystal filter as the first roofing filter. The strong-signal performance of the mixer and its peripheral circuits is greatly improved. This feedback will increase the 3rd-order intercept point and IMD3 dynamic range without loss of sensitivity when Preamp 1 is engaged.Įmploys new quad-JFET first mixer. This is a noise-free negative-feedback circuit for Preamp 1, which improves linearity at the expense of power gain, without degrading noise figure. Uses a low-noise feedback circuit for Preamp 1. Refer to 1.1 below.Įmploys new diodes and coils in the RF BPF to decrease strong-signal IMD. (5 assigned channels open on USA version band can be enabled on other versions with modification.)Īchieves IP3 > +30 dBm (14MHz band standard value). The IC-756PRO III will incorporate some IC-7800 technology:ĥ MHz (60m) band standard on all versions. The IC-756Pro III incorporated the following changes as compared to the IC-756Pro II: 1. Icom unveiled the new IC-756Pro III at Tokyo HamFair 2004, which took place on August 21 and 22, 2004. The IC-756Pro III received FCC certification on Septemunder FCC ID AFJ217800.
