I realize that the cost of technology drops over time, and
with inflation, prices rise a bit, but at this point I am wondering if
the rig might not be priced considerably higher than the 706. Around
here, a few hams are thinking it will be in the $1500 US range.
My first inclination was to say aroung $1300--didn't the 706 hover in
about that range for a while? However, $1500 puts it in the 746PRO price
range, which I don't think they'll want to do. Even $1300 puts it quite a
bit above its competitors in the mobile rig arena. I'm guessing about
$1100--a little higher than the TS-480 series, $300 or so above the
FT-857. It may start out higher, but drop fairly soon.
All this info comes from a cracked crystal ball, of course...hi.
