Being an IC-701 owner, I have heard that the IC-751 has much more rugged finals. The Dallas repair center for Icom tested the 751 key down for an hour - and they told me the only finals they have replaced were in a rig hit by lightning! (in contrast - the 701 has a terrible record on the finals) The 701 has 150W transistors vs 290W for the 751 and 745. Have not heard anything bad about the 751 and have worked a few on the air and the owners seem very pleased. 73 - Kent - AA6P

The latest issue of CQ Magazine has a detailed review of the IC-751. Jim (W2OZH)
