Hi Paul,

Your comments about DSP vs. analogue/crystal-filter architecture are
absolutely correct. Economics, as well as performance and capability
are driving the shift to 100% DSP implementations.
Yeah, tell me about it. Here I pay on the average of $150 for each
crystal filter that goes into my Icom IC-706mkiiG. I would like to
install more, but the IC-706mkiiG will accept a maximum of two
filters. Then I am into the uncharted waters of replacing FL-272
filter 2.4 kHz with FL-223 filter 1.9 kHz, as I want the narrow SSB
filter more than I want the nice-sounding SSB filter which is soldered
in as default :(
If the IC-7000 does check in at around USD$1000 with no filters to
buy, then it would be a Good Thing (IMHO) I hope that Icom does not
compromise on CW performance, even though that mode has been
deprecated recently. I do all my HF operating in Morse Code.
