Icom 9700 Black Friday Pricing

I just saw where a couple of major dealers have the Icom 9700 at $1450 which is $200 lower than the typical pricing of $1650.....I'm chomping at the bit to place my order.....has anyone seen better pricing online from a reputable seller?

 

Ooooooooo!

 

HRO has them for a similar price.

You should have mentioned the dealers, probably get better or more replies.

 

Well, to your point, Yes HRO is one and GigaParts and DX Engineering are others. I was holding off until February for the Orlando Hamcation but the temptation was too much...I placed my order from HRO just today!

 

Good for you. I bought a Rigol DSO5354 oscope for black friday.

Maybe at Hamvention the deals on 9700 will be sweater.

 

I'd love to knit a 9700!
Notice that rhymes with HIT.
I'm sure that by Hamvention, things will be sweeter.

 

Seems they are selling.
My research indicates that the RS-BA1 Ver. 2 Software does not support dual watch for the 9700. Disappointing.

 

I was all set to buy the 9700, but had my head turned by a pretty new IC 7610. Maybe next year.
