Sir--I don't own an FT757 but I've used one, in particular on Field
Day this past summer.  That's a good test of a piece of gear!

It's ultimately simple to use and has lots of goodies including the
built in keyer.  My only criticism is that since it's a fully    
synthesized rig, you can't tune "smoothly" across a signal, you go
instead in 100 Hz steps.  I suppose this is the wave of the future
in ham rigs, but it gives a whole new meaning to VFOs!  At least 
Yaesu still provides a "steering wheel" to move frequency instead
of up-down keys as are found on most broadcast FM receivers these
days.

The receiver is good, the CW filters are nice and sharp, etc. etc.
