[ICOM] New IC-7700 announced at Dayton

[Adam Farson]

Hi Alex,

My understanding is that the Pro3 will remain in the line-up for the
foreseeable future. 

The amateur contest sector is a relatively small part of Icom's total
market.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

I guess they're following the path of the FT-9K series as they have a
"contest" version of their top dog rig at around that price. Yaesu then
dropped the 847 and the Mark V and introduced the FT-2K. I wouldn't be
surprised if Icom would do the same and drop the 746Pro and the PIII from
their line and introduce a IC-7500 (7560? :) ).

I think I'll pass on this one.
