[Icom] Introduction of the IC-7800

[Matt Erickson]

Take a look here; www.qsl.net/kk5dr/rumors.html
I have a picture of the radio and a list of specs.
No such thing as the "Mark II", only the IC-7800 (possibly under a different model number for US sales).

>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.
