The text that goes along with it --

"...the very latest ICOM radio... Which was introduced for the first  
time at 10 this morning..
This is the NEW IC 7000...a major up-grade from the very popular IC  
706....
This new radio radio will impress the most discriminate ham....
It has all the DSP power one could ever wish for..
The 2 1/2 inch color LCD display will even tune in your local TV  
Station.. Don't that beat all???
However, it is a little pricey ... About $1,500.00....
as compared to it's older sister, the IC706 @ $900.00.
I think last year Yaesu won the show with it's high end, $15,000.00  
FT DX 9000...
This year I think Icom came out on top with it's affordable IC7000...
Check it out http://www.icom.co.jp/world/index.html"

Hopefully this helps folks get some idea of the size of the
radio. Judging from the description of the LCD screen size,
this is just a bit larger than the 706.
