[ICOM] Replacement for the R9000???

[Adam Farson]

Hi Ed,

One of my sources has indicated that there may be a new wide-coverage
VHF/UHF receiver in the works at the Osaka R&D centre. This receiver will
address the needs of the military, radio regulatory and law-enforcement
services. The frequency coverage may be 30 MHz to 2.5 GHz. This product will
not address HF; the thinking is that existing DSP-based Icom transceivers
will best serve user communities in need of a sophisticated HF receiver. The
economies of scale involved seem to suggest that it will be possible to
price a high-volume HF or HF/6m transceiver more advantageously than a
receive-only product which would doubtless sell in much smaller quantities.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

I'm hearing rumblings of an ICR-9500 which is supposedly a high-end
replacement for the R9000.....Any word on this?
