[ICOM] Manual tuner by Icom

[Randy Ballard]

Hello Group ,  I have a very large collection of Icom catalogs , brochures ,
dealer catalogs and dealer information bindings from 1970,s Enoue through
Icom 2004 and the AT-100 is the only manual tuner that I can find listed. It
is rated at 100 watts and was produced from 1981-84 .  Thats the only years
that it is shown in my Icom products listings for dealers. I have catalogs
/brochures from VK, G0 & JA and it seems that over the years Icom has
marketed different products/models to other countries. Some of the models
that we receive here in the States may not be available in other countries
or it will have a different model number . Models marketed in some countries
are not available in the US. I noticed a 70cm allmode marketed in Australia
and New Zealand that was never marketed in the US. This is also true with
there marine and business "Land Mobile" products. Im sure that the
rules/regulations have an effect on this in some ways as does marketing.
Have a great weekend , de Randy N5WV
