[SixClub] AMPLIFIER-RM Italy.

[KB0NLY]

The IC-9100 is about $3650 in US Dollars on the Japanese market now, should 
be out in the US soon, I suspect they will mark up the price some with 
shipping and customs costs, probably closer to $4000 here in the USA.

Too rich for my blood!  I will stick with my FT-847 its served me well.

73,

Scott KB0NLY
