[ICOM] 706 successor?

[JohnD]

The rigpix should say 5 cm, not 5 inches.

Quote Bert -  PS The display is the same as on the PRO2, i.e. 5".

I find it hard to believe that this rig reported to be the successor to
706 series is going to have a 5 inch display even though it says that on the
Rigpix description. What's the 706 display (2", 2.5")??
