Re: 70mhz available on the 7000?
Says nothing new since the first discovery.
It all comes from the single scanned French ham mag and no one else has
presented anything more then that article yet.
We all have to wait for Icoms own press release to know what its all about
or even if it exist :) It may even be a hoax!

I see that the April issue of the RSGB's Radcom magazine includes an advertisement from Martin Lynch (big radio dealer in the UK) where under the description of the IC706, it reports that a new model is on its way.
Maybe they saw it here of course...!

Hi Bill,
It is probably safe to say that there will be no dramatic changes in
IC-706MkIIG pricing until the IC-7000 has passed FCC certification and is
released for sale in the US market. If the radio will be "unveiled" at Tokyo
HamFair 2005 in August, we can expect to see US availability in 1Q/2006.
Concerning 220 MHz, there is no amateur 220 MHz allocation outside Region 2.
The radio manufacturers perceive our 222-225 MHz allocation as somewhat
tenuous. It is a chicken/egg problem.
Yaesu may come up with a competing 100% DSP-based radio if their first
venture into "pure" IF-DSP design, the FT-DX9000 series, enjoys some success
in the marketplace. They are currently test-marketing the basic ("D")
version of the 9000 in Japan.
Kenwood....hmmm, don't think so. Their latest HF offering, the TS-480, is
analogue. They do not seem to be fielding a DSP engineering team.
Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Subject: [ic7000] New to the group
Hi All
I joined because I am interested in this new radio by Icom. I own the IC
706 Mk2 G . I think it is the best out there for the price and versatility.
I have two questions, does anyone have any advance knowledge of when the
706 will be discounted and closed-out? And when will it happen. If at
Dayton they close them out for $500 , that would be a heck of a deal! In
2003, they were closing out the Yaesu 817 for $400 at Dayton... so it could
be possible. ( They closed out the 817 to make way for the 817ND)
My only beef with the new 7000 would be that 222 Mhz. will be excluded
again. At the very least , Icom could have provided a optional module to be
installed for 222 Mhz.
However the 7000 with 500 memories and 35 watts on UHF and better filters,
would likely be worth the difference in price between a possible closeout
price of the 706 and a possible selling price of $950 for the new 7000.
Makes me wonder what Yaesu or Kenwood will come up to match the 7000. What
ever the case, if the 7000 is just as reliable as the 706Mk2G. Then Icom
will have another winner on its hands. Just look at the reviews of the
706Mk2G, out of 292 reviews it ranks a 4.5 (out of 5) on eham.net-
exceptionally high.

On the IC-7000, I would be hesitant to speculate at this time. I'm betting on the IC-7000 designation. We have the IC-7800 already in the U.S. My second choice is IC-706PRO. I don't think it will be 706MkIIGPRO!! 73, Paul K4PDM __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around

Icom is in the process of replacing its entire analogue HF product line with
DSP-based designs. As high-performance ADC, DSP and DAC IC's become more
cost-effective, this change, which already includes Icom's high- and
mid-range HF and HF/VHF transceivers, will migrate down to the lower-priced
models such as the IC-718, IC-706 series etc.

I wonder why Icom would use the same "name" for a new radio - "IC-

Just to make myself clear about all this: I am sure that the major
manufacturers will debut offerings at Dayton. But I am having trouble
believing that Icom will soon cease production of the '706, since it
is still selling extremely well.
And so it goes....

Just for fun I have contacted Icom Europe, UK and US about the radio.
The Germans replied first saying the radio is still in R&D.
Second, Icom UK said the radio will be out by mid year.
Local Icom here did not return my email.
Yes, of course the radio is real. Try it for yourself by asking, for example Icom UK about it by email.
-best.

Group and Clint,
As I have stated before, if this is a spoof then Icom should take a real
hard look at it!
The details in the pictures and the look and feel of the controls
represents a fantastic
preview of the next generation of a 706 series radio. The
information, particularly
the picture, is what Icom should have paid, and maybe did pay, many
thousands of bucks
to have someone conceive.
If it's a spoof then the best thing Icom should do would be to copy the
picture and get started!!!
Sorry Clint, but if it's a "myth", then Icom has lost their mind!
