[ICOM] Icom 7000?

[David Aukamp]

Adam, I'm sorry to hear that the IC-7000 may be the 706's replacement. If 
its color display acts anything like that on my past few notebook computers 
it will be virtually useless as a mobile rig in daylight.

Otherwise, the 7000 adds welcome features and appears to be the same 
physical size as the 706 family.
