[Icom] Introduction of the IC-7800

[Joe Moraine]

I heard on 80 meters last night (so it must be true) that 6 months after 
the initial introduction of the IC-7800, Icom will introduce the IC-7800 
Mark II.  The Mark II will have an improved noise blanker and a slightly 
  different color scheme for the LCD display.  The new radio will be in 
the $15,000 to $20,000 class.  I only bring this up, so that those of 
you who are contemplating purchasing the original model, may want to 
wait 6 months for the introduction of the Mark II.  It looks like it 
will be a huge improvement over the original model.
