[Icom] Icom , what's the real 2720 story?

Yo! Icom, get off your butt or your going to lose a 30 year long time
customer. Are you spinning the boards or is this total BS? The least you can
do is give your dedicated dealers the truth so they can address questions by
your long time buyers.

W3PT a maybe not to long loyal customer!

Also, How about the neat little HT Icom was going to come out with about one
year ago...... Never did come out!!!!   I too am about to jump the Icom
ship.
Apparently Icom just "floats" ideas and looks at how much interest is
generated.  I have waited over a year now for the little Icom HT dual or
triple band  with DCS, Guess it is time for a Yaesu VX5-R that has DCS.....
How long has that been out an proven already?  Long time. No question, Icom
has fallen WAY behind on these radios. Maybe spending too much time and
effort on the "top end" HF rigs......
