    I haven't had a chuckle watching a translation that good since they came out with "All your base are belong to us".

    If it wouldn't have been for the virus we would have saw the 705a in the US at Dayton

    I have put my $1200 aside (hopefully it won't cost more) but will wait for the first reports to come in before purchasing!

    I wonder how well just an HF version with an ATU would sell v the loaded version ? :cool:

    I would actually expect the latter sooner than you think. CQOHM (a Japanese Ham Radio store) is listing IC-705's for 当店特別価格115,800円(税込). That is 115,800yen INCLUDING tax (Japanese sales tax is 10%). Given the fact that ham products in Japan are sold at prices much higher than the U.S., I am thinking it might hit the U.S. at around $1k upon release.

    Oh wow, that is SUPER expensive!

    £1300 is about $2,400 AUD. Just as a comparison, the IC7300 here in VK costs around $1600 AUD (£850 / $1,050USD). That's probably the ceiling price I would pay for the 705.

    As soon as HRO calls to tell me my reservation is ready I'm in.

    I have high tolerance for first release products. This is going in my camper and the season has already begun.
