[ICOM] Re: New IC-7700 announced at Dayton

[mel martin]

Oh c'mon... It's just a little circuitry... It's the design omission/error
that's going to be expensive. The 7700 will not sell well without
dual-watch. It's a rig aimed at a discriminating (not rich) amateur who
knows what they want... And I suspect they want dual-watch! 6-7K is NOT
pocket change for most amateurs... For those who it is, they will buy the
7800 anyway. I'll wait for the inevitable IC-7700A. Remember; other "design
mistakes" such as the 751 were superseded very quickly...

>as this would push the IC-7700 considerably above the intended price point.
