The 746 is a solid HF+2m all mode full repeater access performer which is between the "old school" all analog and the "new school" computer pretending to be a radio designs. The plain 746 requires a crystal CW filter if you want top performance because of its less powerful DSP capability than the Pro version which has all digital filters. Also, a heated high stability osc is an plug-in option. Produces a full 100 w with only 20A of 12v input. Autotuner for HF as well as multiple antenna inputs (2HF, 1 VHF) are great features. It's good for hams who want the features of a solid, computer controllable rig without giving up the feel of working radio by hand. Unlike smaller rigs like the Yaesu 857D where everything you NEED is buried under a multi-level menu, the 746 has enough conventional buttons and knobs to keep you from having to dig that often. Very usable.Read full review
This is a great radio. I own two IC-746's transceivers. The first I bought in 1997, using it both mobile and at home. It has been very reliable. The second one I purchased as a damaged unit. It required most of the transistors in the HF final replaced. I was expecting this to be very expensive but I was pleasantly surprised to find the parts very reasonably priced compared to other radio's I have repaired. Both of these radio's are keepers and will be put to daily use.

I watched this item for several days and when he reduced the price I had to jump on it. After making a few menu adjustments the radio is working fine, I really like the microphone, it is made just for the radio, excellent sound quality. Buying this was an excellent choice.

This is a great radio with all the bells and whistles you could want. For it's time it is a fine product. I use it every day. Out put is great and hears well I love the two antenna ports and one for vhf.

Keeping it taped down on the desktop for frequent use availability. It is very helpful in learning how to use a "new" for me radio. Also great for reminders on how to use some of the infrequently used features.
