[ICOM] New IC-7000

[Scott Honaker]

I assume Icom was referring to mobile.  Although Kenwood shows the TS-B2000
mounted in the back of an SUV in the brochure, even they didn't pretent it
was "mobile".  Icom has packed an amazing amount of technology into that
tiny little package.

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.
