In this video I will go over the history of the Previous Icom IC-7700 series radios and then compare the Preliminary Icom Pre-Release information on the IC-7760 to the Current Icom 7610 specifications and go over the layout of these two radios I will then give my current thoughts on this new radio with the Icom IC-7610 in mind! Some questions I hope this video will answer: Should Icom 7610 owners upgrade to a 7760? Is the 7760 worth the possible $6,000+ price tag? What features are on the newly announced 7760 compared to the 7610 and vice versa?
