[ICOM] NEW IC-7000

[John Geiger]

That is a nice writeup, but I hate to inform Icom that the IF-DSP on the
7000 is not "the first in its class."  The Kenwood TS2000 is the first
HF/VHF/UHF radio with IF-DSP.

Icom tried something similar with the 756PRO, acting like it was such a
design breakthrough, even though several rigs before it had IF-DSP and DSP
based filters, like the Kenwood TS870, Kachina 505, Ten Tec Pegasus, and I
think the TS2000 came out a little before the 756PRO also, but I could be
wrong on that one.

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
