Doug,
I use the Mark V but I have "tuned around" with a Pro ... the
DSP filters were no match for a completely filtered Mark V. As
expected, the Icom exhibits more "window IMD" than the Mark V.
I have not had a chance to try a Pro III with the INRAD roofing
filter, but I would most certainly look into it if I had an Icom.

... Joe, W4TV
