[ICOM] IC-7600 at Tokyo Hamfair 2008

[Adam Farson]

Hi Mike,

I am sure that Icom are listening, not only to you but also to their
product-planning and marketing people and to the Japanese ITU delegation.

Economics (projected sales) and the long-term security of amateur
allocations above 54 MHz will be the key factors in any such product
decision. 

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Yeah - I have 5 IC-901As on line.  Two are just dual-banders.  One of those
is at work.  The other in the Toyota - our run-around-town car.  The third
is in the house with 144, 144-ssb, 220, 440, 1200.  Another in the dog show
van just like the house unit.  The last is in my jeep, fully loaded with 29,
50, 144, 220, 440 and 1200, plus 144 SSB and the receiver module.  I have an
extra 28, 50, 220 and receiver module in the spare parts boxes.

I would sell every part of that for 5 IC-906/9000 type radios.  Maybe not
all at once, but as soon as I could afford it.

What we are asking for I guess would be a perfect V/UHF rover radio.

BTW - shack:
IC-781 - IC-2KL - AT500.
IC-551D.
5 each IC-901As.
IC-706 mk-I in the bug-out kit.
P.O.S. IC-820S sitting in the junk pile.

ICOM - ARE YOU LISTENING?  I will send you the specs again if you ask.....
<grin>

Nice to dream - isn't it?
