[AK-VHF] New Radio coming to KL7UW

[Ed Cole]

After seeing Brandon's new IC9700 (which he used roving for the 
contest), I decided it would look good in my shack.  Ordered it from 
DXEngineering, today (may take a week for delivery).

It will replace my FT-736R (144&432 units installed).  The FT-736R has 
done well, though it dates back to the early days of digital VFO's.  I 
will sell the FT-736R (but made private offer until next Saturday so its 
not listed until then).  Will give priority to keep it in AK (by 
pre-paid shipping).

The FT-736R is all-mode 25w radio.  The IC9700 is 2m-100w, 432-75w, 
1296-10w.

I will still use my K3 on 144, 432, 1296 for SSB/eme with DEMI 
transverters.  The main use of the IC9700 will be FM/SSB on 144 and 432, 
plus satellite, and packet/APRS.
