[ICOM] IC-7600

[Hans Remeeus]

I was hoping (and still do) that Icom would manufacture a successor to 
the IC-746Pro/IC-7400, with 100 watt on 144 MHz (and without PA- or 
exciter failures...).

Next to my IC-7700 and IC-7400 only a SDR-transceiver would bring 
something for HF.

IMHO the IC-7600 is for those who want something else than the 
IC-756series and don't want to spend the money for a IC-7700.
