[Icom] Icom 7800 Introduced

Sun, 18 May 2003 11:35:18 -0500

And the 781? In today's 2003 dollars? :-(  Unfortunately, the target market
for this radio may be governments and the military, not hams--which equals
big purchase price bucks. I had earlier guessed $6,000 on the street--it may
be closer to $8,000 street.
