At Ham-Com last weekend, an Icom rep was heard to mention that at least 
125 Icom IC-7800s have been sold in the USA so far, but that they were 
still back-ordered and waiting for more units to ship from Japan.

Someone on another list I'm on pointed out that a savvy negotiator could
probably buy a brand-new Chevrolet Cavalier (with racing stripes) and have 
an Elecraft K2 installed in it for the same price as an Icom IC-7800.
