I bought this rig to use as a back-up for a K3 in the home shack, and a primary rig for the motor home. It appears to be in excellent condition and initial tests have received good reviews on-the-air. I think it is the only listing on e-ham with 97 reviews all with a rating of 5. I wanted an analog rig to remember what it is like to have all the functions on the faceplate, and not have to learn a bunch of menus. If you've had experience with any of the older rigs, you will not need the manual to operated this one. This particular rig has the MARS conversion so I have to be careful to stay within the band edges. It has the 500 khz cw filter, so I will look around for a 250 khz one as I mainly operate CW. However, there is nothing wrong with the SSB or AM function. I get good comments on those modes, too. The receiver is excellent. I have several other rigs including IC-706MKIIG, IC-740, TS-897, TS-480HX, Heathkit HW-16, DX-60, SB-220, and TS-900. They are all good rigs, and I try to do most of the maintenance and repair work myself. However, except for the K3 and the TS-480HX, the 751A beats them all. Like all manufacturers, Icom has winners, near winners, and also-rans. The IC-751A is definitely a winner!Read full review
This is one of Icom's best HF transceivers. I have 30 plus years experience with military communications and have used some of the best manufacturers have to offer. I currently own an Electraft k3, an Icom 756Pro, Icom 718, Icom 706MkIIg, Icom 702A and of course the 751A. Eham rating is 5 out of 5. The Passband tuning and Notch tuning is better than any of the other tadios previously mentioned. Puts out over 100 watts on all bands. Radio is Mars capable. If you can get one you won't be sorry. Make sure it is the 751A and not the 751

I bought this ICON 751A as my second rig and I have enjoyed it very much. It was easy to learn to use and has given me a lot of QSO's . The mike is very sensitive and have to keep it away from mu mouth but it gives good report on audio. It doesn't have all the knobs and switches the new ones have thus is easer to use overall is swell rig (751A)
Excellent quality, perfect fit. Best deal for a radio cover on ebay.
