sux mode.. back to my NASCAR race .. I need a hand mike for my IC-2000 ..

i spoke with the Japanese engineer ( guard hi) from icom..  he was hovering
(guarding) the 7800..  it is  one gigantic piece of equip..  looked
significantly bigger than the 775dsp..  when asked if it will sticker
around $8k..  he said  "no higher...  around $10k"  it really is a beautiful
thing to behold...  ( excuse me christmas story)  paul w8jn
