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.

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.
My Icom IC7006mkiiG does not cascade the filters. There is a
considerable amount of "Blow By" the narrower (250 Hz 500 Hz) filters.
It will be interesting to see if Icom addresses the "Blow By" issue
3. Nobody knows yet. In any event, a properly-designed charging
system
should hold the battery at around 13.5V.

True, while charging the battery. But when discharging the battery
(for example on Field Day) you are out of luck, unless you buy Leo's
Battery Booster at I know a
number of IC-706xx users who have gone that route.
