Hello all,
Here is why
- There is no natural picture like shadows and shines - The picture is
bright less
- The scope meter shows a very high resolution...I think even on those
modern digital cameras you could not get that level of resolution.
- The writings of the display are way too small for a radio of its size. You
could not read them if you were not facing the radio directly. Try it with
your digicam.
- The writings on the buttons and knobs are all blured..Why? if you can see
the scope meter and its lines so well.
- There is no perspective look on the knobs. They all look as if the picture
was taken directly over them. ( I have a picture of a radio here that you
can see clearly that should be some perspective view on those knobs, which
would be like the knobs of the left should be pointing slightly to the left
and the right VFO should be pointinh also slightly to the right.
- There is only one picture available (It is hard and takes time to make
different drawings os the same object)
So I think:
- It is a stolen sketch from Icom labs for a future new 706
- Or it isnt true at all. Someone with good drawing knowledge is only joking
around.
Has Icom said anything about it?
Well ,for now I would like it to be true, since it sounds like a nice
radio!
