I still have working Icom rigs that are over 30 years old.

Well Charlie, my Drake TR4-C works great, but does not do the WARC bands, 
does not have the band scope the Pro II has, filtering is easier in the Pro 
II and numerous other items.

I sold my Pro some time ago, but put several years on it ... however, I know 
the new owner and after about 5+ years it is still going strong.

I guess it is all about what you want to do.  If you are happy with the Swan 
... fine.

But to state obsolescence in 3-5 years .. don't know about that.  How many 
Icoms are out there that are over 10 years old and still going strong??
