[ICOM] New Pro III - Hold On Guys!

[Dave Edwards]

But I am not sure how I lose a ton of money, and how Icom will make more
money.
My Pro works great, and I see no reason to trade up.
If there was a circuit which caused my Pro to self-destruct  when the Pro 2
came out, well...that would then be a money making scheme (to say the
least!!)
