[ICOM] FT-9000 - Hello ICOM!

[awallacejr at sbcglobal.net]

Anyone have any idea when the radio will be offered for sale? At what cost?  I noted the ad stated "specifications subject to change without notice" and "the radio has not been approved by the FCC for sale".

Strikes me as a computer generated image of a "concept" radio designed to slow 7800 sales while Yaesu tries to catch up. 

Will a working prototype be at Dayton? I'll bet not.
