I liked the band scope on the 756 pro, it did exactly
what I wanted it to do, which was to show any signals
close (+/- 12.5 KHz, or 25 KHz total) to where I was operating.

While working around the shack, I could see if anyone was
on without tuning anything.
They work real well on AM, not as good on ssb or cw where
signals are not steady/constant, but they work.

I don't remember how icom designed the band scope, but you
could expand it quite wide.
It DID have an odd glitch, as you centered a signal its amplitude
shrunk on the display, making signals out of the passband
seem stronger then they were, an agc thing no doubt.

The band scope was the only thing I found impressive on the icom,
it WAS very well done.

It even showed clearly when someone's signal was wider than it
should have been....
