[ICOM] Re: IC 706mkIIG price

[peter markavage]

PRO II's are already here. All the last of the PRO II's are already in
dealer stock. Current yen versus dollar  doesn't should not affect these
models. Icom has already been paid for this model. Technically, any
"current U. S. dealer stock" of any imported model should not be affected
by the yen versus dollar erosion. The U.S. dealers have already paid for
this material. But, there's no way to tell when you walk into a dealer's
storefront.
