HF upgrade to 756 pro 2

[Se7en]

Is it a wise decision to sell the ic-7000 and purchase the 756pro 2 ?

I bought the 7000 for mobile use, used it one month mobile. Now it is saftely at home as a base but its just too small and I feel it lacks features due to it having vhf uhf.

You will like the bigger unit. Is it a good price? I have a 746pro and it is an awesome radio. I like the idea.

Well my 7000 has everything, tuner external display Bob mic mod, external mount kit. Etc...
What's my radio worth ? Its mint. Never EVER used past 30w vhf and 45w hf. What's the going rate for a used 756 pro2....?

I would imagine that you could find a good 756pro 2 for around $1000 - $1200. If you can try to find a pro 3. As for the 7000, I have no idea, sorry.

Great. Its a rule I have any radio I buy must sell another.

I had a 7000 for three years as a base and it was great. I am in the same boat as you as to have to sell equipment to buy some thing to add to the shack. I sold my 7000 and got a used pro 3 and love it as much as the 7000. I do miss two things though, the hookup for the display to be on my computer monitor and vhf. I had to buy a vhf rig for my shack now, an added expence. I like the bigger real time scope on the pro 3, it makes finding where operators.

Yes. I had one and regret selling it. You will love the Pro II. Good for doing some of that medium-fi audio work too

IMO it has the best receiver out there.

I do too much swl listening and recording so its good to know the rx is decent.
