[Icom] re pro pricing

[ken cubilo]

I have not seen the pro2 listed at under $2850.00 anywhere. I just picked up
a pro for $1879.00 I had not planned on purchasing one as my interest is qrp
and homebrewing work, but talking to my favorite salesman I was told they
only had a couple of the original pro's left and I couldn't see paying
another grand for the 2 version, as most of my operating is casual only. I
kind of suspect that anyone no matter what he shells out for a new rig will
find that 2 months from now the price will drop a few hundred bucks. I've
been nailed by this happening the past two years i.e.. buy a ft100d for a
grand and two months later you can pick them up for $813. Anyway the pro is
a great rig from the limited time I have had to use it.
