[ICOM] Fw: IC-756PROIII replacement

[John Geiger]

According to the ad:

"Most remarkably, the IC-7600 realizes the same level of receiver performance as the IC-7700/7800, our top-of-the-line transceivers."

If that is so, shouldn't it cost MORE than the 7700, given that it does dual receive and the 7700 doesn't?  I can see $1000 or more just for a built in PS with the 7700.
