[ICOM] Fw: IC-756PROIII replacement

[Adam Farson]

Hi John,

Projected sales - and the future stability of those band allocations - will
doubtless be determining factors here. I agree that a replacement for the
IC-7000 does not seem to make much sense at the present time. The IC-7000
was released in 2005.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

WHy does the 7000 need a replacement-it only came out a couple of years ago?
Then again, a replacement with 1.2ghz and optional modules for 222mhz,
902mhz and 2.3 GHZ would be a winner!
