My guess is that it will be priced below the Icom IC-705 because there is no WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS on board. It does however have FT-101 sdr architecture on-board. The Xiegu X-6200 is a bit cheaper, but has no VHF/UHF implemented. I have made a pre-order as my FT-817 is almost 20 years old, but has never let me down.
