[Icom] "Hamfest special" price of 756-PRO-II

[Matt Erickson]

Yes, that was the "Dayton only" price on the PRO II, de AES/HRO.
  Reason; Dayton IS the largest ham-fest in the world, and is well known 
that the larger dealers give deep,deep discounts at that fest only.
Also, it is one of the few ham-fests where a customer can buy a radio 
direct from the factory booth.
I bought a PRO II at a "smaller" ham-fest in April, at what I felt was a 
very low price, until I heard the Dayton price, oh well...
