[ICOM] IC-R7000

[Gary Fiber]

Seems to me that was an Electronic Equipment Bank of Virginia 
modification to add HF to the R-7000 using someone's  module. Of 
course they are long out of business.

The R-7000 tunes from 25 Mhz to 1000 Mhz and goes through a converter 
and tunes from 1025MHz to 2000Mhz.
