[ICOM] 706 Mark II G Life Cycle???

[MB]

I think it will be 200W radio. The Ts480 was my reference point for 
this guess.

Also, the new rig will be a bigger box, just like the TS480. There is 
no need to go smaller for a mobile rig like the ft857.

Icom will go with a larger mobile rig with a great, large color 
display, IF DSP and 200W option.

Hope Icom will deliver such a radio soon. Maybe Dayton 2005?
