[ICOM] FT-9000 - Hello ICOM!

[Icom 765]

Yep ... it was smart ... didn't Icom do a similar thing with the 7800 vs. 
the Orion.  Kinda dangled the carrot out there of what might be coming just 
about the time the Orion was to go GA.  Dollar for Dollar I think I'll keep 
my 765 a LONG time.

73, Mike
