[ICOM] Reasonable price for IC-970A with UX-R96

First.. That is correct and it is really easy to fix!
Secondly...  The 2.4G unit is designed for Japanese TV rather than satellite
by original intent.  Again if it is satellite that is of interest it is
pretty easy to move.  (The biggest problem is by far just finding the
module...)

Thanks
