Hi Ya'akov,
To address your questions:
1. No idea. I would speculate that the initial price will be in the USD 1100
~ 1200 range.
2. The IF bandwidth setting and Twin PBT will be very similar to those of
the IC-756Pro series and the 746Pro/7400, as the DSP algorithms will most
likely be similar. I imagine that there will be 3 default BW settings for
each emission type, so you will be able to program Filter 1, 2 and 3 for
whatever BW you wish. The defaults for CW will probably be the same as on
the Pro series - 1.2 kHz, 500 Hz and 250 Hz. I believe that you are
referring to cascaded 500 and 250 Hz filters; that concept does not exist in
the DSP IF subsystem, as the DSP filters have far better shape factors than
are attainable with two cascaded analogue filters.
3. Nobody knows yet. In any event, a properly-designed charging system
should hold the battery at around 13.5V.
Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Subject: [ic7000] How much is the IC-7000 going to cost me?
How much is the Icom IC-7000 going to cost me? I presume it will not be the
same price or lower than what I am paying for my new IC-706mkiiG.
Does anyone know more about the filter options. Your English upload says
that optional filters are neither available or required. Just how many
software filters can be configured at once on the IC-7000?
Can I have a 250 Hz CW and a 500 Hz CW filter programmed at once?
Does the IC-7000 transmitter conk out around 12 volts like the IC-706mkiiG,
or is it friendlier towards 12 volt batteries?
