[ICOM] Icom 7200 at Dayton Big Disappointment???

[Ekki Plicht (DF4OR)]

No FM? So what? Pse remember that Icom designes radio not only for the US 
market (although it is certainly the largest national market). But outside 
the US, FM is rarely used (or even not permitted) on 6m, and not very 
widespread on 10m.

So for me it is no big loss if I get the benefit of a narrow roofing filter.

What I find very appealing about the radio is the USB connection for remote 
control and also offering voice capabilities (AF in/out). If the price is 
right this makes the 7200 an ideal radio for remote controlled operations, 
something which more and more users become interested in.


Just my 2 Eurocents.
