Seems likely to me that the timing would coincide
perfectly for an "unveiling" at Dayton.
The US$1474 pricetag, if that is indeed what it will be
in N.A., is a bit scary though. Albeit, the original 706
was up there when it first came out but going by todays
pricing and in comparison to the cost of a new FT-857D
at nearly half the price, I won't be lining up for an IC-7000.
I was thinking US$1K-ish myself.

Do you know (or can you guess :-) ) if this is delivery just in Japan,
or does it include US as well. (Think "big Dayton splash". :-) )
