I agree with Paul,
I say it will be in the ballpark of the 857D.
the Kenwood 480 has more power or built in antenna
tuner to "almost" justify it's cost.
It would have to have more bands like 222MHz to be
worth more than what an 857D goes for.

I still say we will pay around $1,799.
I don't think it will be that high. That is more than the 746PRO
with
PS125, and more than twice the price of the Yaesu FT-857D. It is
around
twice the Kenwood TS-480SAT's cost. However great the 7000 is, the
primary
use will be mobile, and must compete for sales with other mobile
rigs. If
it comes in drastically above the others, I think it will drop soon-
-not
necessarily to their level, but not twice that much, either.
But my crystal ball is still cracked...
