hmmmmph....at least you got 5 years outta yours!!! mine is less then 5 MONTHS old & has the prediver replaced THREE times along with the internal ATU! all under warranty, just the price of a 90 mile round trip drive to drop it off at an authorized repair shop! he added a customized heat sink to it the last time & its still going strong....after 3 weeks. he said that's it, if the predriver goes again, he removes the heat sink & any hint of it & i gotta send it to icom. his going repair rate is around $80/hour....icom gives him less then $40. and "I wouldn't mind having the 756Pro3, but I can't justify the expense. That rig doesn't have 2m, either" is pretty much why i went 746pro vs 756pro3, too.
