[Icom] Introduction of the IC-7800

[Matt Erickson]

One of the model numbers being tossed around at ICOM Japan, for the  US version is the "IC-788". 
There is still at least a year before we'll see this radio forsale here in the US, so anything could happen by then.

>>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.
