[ICOM] FT-9000 - Hello ICOM!

[Bill Gode, Sr.]

Why the sour grapes, Andy?  I own Yaesu, Icom and Kenwood radios and am interested in ALL the new rigs - even those I would never purchase.  Obviously, the new Yaesu isn't a pipe dream.  I really don't care when it becomes available, since I would rather have $10k tied up in 4 nice radios, than one giant rig - regardless of brand.  

Lighten up.  And I agree with you about the extra 200 watts for $3000...

Bill

  Hi Bill-

  As a lawyer I know that "it is supposed to be available for sale in Japan by the end of this year" is pure unattributed speculation or "hearsay".  And that speculation itself begs the question of when the radio might be for sale in the US doesn't it? Sometime in 2005? Maybe.

  BTW, $3,000 for an additional 200 watts is pretty pricey, isn't it?   I think I could get a pretty good 1,500 watt amp for $3,000.
