New Icom`s RIG  IC-7000

I wonder if it will include the 60 meter channels?

Why would ICOM make a radio that goes to 70cm and put TWO SO-239 connectors on it?

It's almost insulting, do they really think we can't put a
"N" or BNC connector together?

 

I just went to both icomamerica.com and Icom Japan's site and neither site have the IC-7000 listed yet.

RigPix has it, but none of the Icom sites do. How is it that there's no price on Icom's site?

April 1st vaporware?

 

Will the IC-706 be offered at a clearence price? I hope so, I'll buy one in a heart beat if the price drops a bit. The IC-706 will fit in my Focus nicely.

 

Saw the rig at Dayton.

See Sept 05 QST, Page 2.

My QST arrived in the mail yesterday, and the IC-7000 made the inside front cover. Real cool ad, but I wonder if the wife/girlfriend with the doughroller might be griping about the cost of the rig too........? (giggle)

 

"Icom has indicated that this model will not replace the 706MkIIG and is expected December 2005."
-Universal Radio Site

Time to start hinting.

 

NH, think you mis-spelled the first word in your sig line !!--
