[ICOM] IC 7000

[Joe - KC2TN]

The ICOM rep at Dayton told me the price would be about $1500
with availability targeted for the Fall AND
the 7000 is not going to replace the 706.

Icom looks at this model targeting a different market segment than the 706.

Both will continue to be available

It's about time someone built a DSP based
radio in a small size. As for the price, when
I bought my first 706 it was over $1300
(It may have been my second, the MkII)

I wonder if this unit is to replace both the 706
*and* the 746? To me it would make sense, but
what do I know?

Any of the Dayton attendees with a sales brochure
want to scan and put up in the files section? Maybe
email me a copy? hehe
