[ICOM] 706MKIIG Price Increase

[Alex]

They must've heard about the rebate checks in Japan. :)

Didn't the price of the 706 go up when the 7k rig was introduced....2005? A
706 is already around $950 (w/o the 50 dollar coupon), why would anyone want
to pay more for it while the competition has similar of better offerings for
hundreds less?

I think I'll keep my money in my wallet on this one. :)

73,
