If you are correct with pricing then it will be
a big mistake for ICOM.

Respectfully I disagree.
Icom seems to have their own pricing agenda. In a sense they do not
compete with Yaesu or Kenwood in their minds. I truly believe that they
believe they are the best and charge accordingly for their radios.
Of course I want lower prices like everyone else but, this time I truly
believe the radio will cost around the price I stated before. Again
they will not compete with the likes of yaesu ft857 and such.
People will still buy the ft857.
Most of the people on this group will go for the 7000, especially
owners of 7800 and pro3s.
I always been an Icom person. This is like being an Apple fan. Yes they
charge more, but boy what an experience.

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.
