I know Howard from nattering with him in email on the side. "I'd be
willing to introduce him to my mother," so to speak. He seems like a
gentleman. The "feeding frenzy" seems to strike him differently than
me. I find it mostly amusing. I must say ICOM has built up some very
nice customer loyalty. For all that I may cavil about the faults in
my ProII I am quite pleased with it. (I just wish it was incrementally
better in a few places that should not have cost anything to implement.
One gripe probably cost the money of writing some dozen EXTRA lines of
code in the DSP ROM. {^_-} The RF engineer in me is very fussy about
this sort of thing.)
{^_^} Anyway, W6MKU is not offended. And I hope others are not. I
do suspect that getting a life is a good idea, though. Holding
your breath until this 7000 puppy is available could be fatal.

Get a Life Folks.. IT DOES NOT EXIST YET..Stop speculating... you are

Wait until it is offically announced in Japan (likely)... or Dayton
(less likely)
I am still betting it wll have a number other that IC-7000
FYI - Like I did for the Pro3 and the SteppIR MonstIR, I am going to
HRO tomorrow and put in an order for one
.. just so I can say I got the first one....(it's a guy thing again)

Infinite dollars today.

Just

DSP filters not crystal filters. With dual passband tuning you can
get just about any passband and center frequency in 50Hz and 100Hz
steps respectively as long as it remains below the basic bandwidth
setting for the filter, which is also variable in principle.

It does not run on batteries at this time. But that is because it
does not run at all at this time. Apparently it is still in design
not production.
