[ICOM] 706 successor?

[MB]

The price should be about $2,199 msrp and adjusted for street around 
$2K.

If a GSM cell phone in your pocket can receive TV signals in some 
countries, I do not see why a 2005 design Icom transceiver with a 
powerful DSP engine can not display a 60 years old NTSC TV signal 
technology on its small but useful color display.
