Here in Canada you can buy a barenaked IC-706mkiiG for CDN$1199 plus
taxes.? The filters come to approximately CDN$150 each.? I have no
idea what the "HSC unit" is.? If you mean the TCXO high stability
crystal unit part CR-282 it costs me CDN$200-CDN$300 including the
recommended professional Icom installation on my IC-706mkiiG.

Re: How much is the IC-7000 going to cost me?
Any ham that would build a tower... for a HUGE new SteppIR MONSTIR yagi beam...way up on top of a hill...while homes all around are sliding down with mudflows... in the middle of non-stop record-breaking torrential rainstorms...can't be ALL bad 8^)
GO - HOWARD!!
I'm kinda enjoying all this hoopla about the (so far) phantom IC-7000!!

DSP filters not crystal filters. With dual passband tuning you can
get just about any passband and center frequency in 50Hz and 100Hz
steps respectively as long as it remains below the basic bandwidth
setting for the filter, which is also variable in principle.

It does not run on batteries at this time. But that is because it
does not run at all at this time. Apparently it is still in design
not production.

Price check for the IC-7000
Well, looking at Universal-radio.com here are the current prices for the mobile rigs:
IC-706mk2g with HSC unit and one CW + one SSB filter:
$1,245
FT857ND with HSC unit and one CW + one SSB filter:
$1,140
TS-480 with HSC unit and one CW + one SSB filter:
$1,360
--------------------------------------------
Now, the IC-7000 will not need extra filters and the HSC unit is built-in. If we take the
highest price (Kenwood at $1,360), the IC-7000 being a new radio AND a DSP radio (all
existing radios are analog), you can see or imagine where the msrp and street prices will
be.

Re: How much is the IC-7000 going to cost me?
Don't get me wrong.. I already put one on order this AM .... I love to have the first new toys...
I have no idea what I ordered so it will be a surprise when it comes...
Everyone also seems to have forgotten that the US$ is very weak at this time so that prices will much higher than you expect...

I don't really understand the purpose of this group at this point if it is
not to speculate, such as you did on the eventual model number.

Since the spec sheet we are being shown indicates an increase from

the 50W the MKIIG currently has?

Hi Howard,
As the whole IC-7000 concept is speculative at this stage, I see no harm in
a healthy dose of speculation. This can often lead to interesting technical
discussion, expressions of wishes/hopes for features and capabilities, etc.
Speculation is encouraged - with the usual caveat that civil and polite
discourse is expected. (The alternative to same will simply not be

DSP filters not crystal filters. With dual passband tuning you can
get just about any passband and center frequency in 50Hz and 100Hz
steps respectively as long as it remains below the basic bandwidth
setting for the filter, which is also variable in principle.

It does not run on batteries at this time. But that is because it
does not run at all at this time. Apparently it is still in design
not production.

Probable announcement is at some event in France given the source of
the original news (leak?)

Re: How much is the IC-7000 going to cost me?
Hi Ya'akov,
This phenomenon (actual blow-by caused by inadequate stopband attenuation of
the filter, or signal leakage around the filter) cannot occur in a DSP
filter system, as the stopband attenuation and comebacks (lobes) are a long
way below the 0 dBr passband-centre reference.
Have you attempted to measure the blow-by in your 706 by sweeping across the
passband with a signal generator and measuring the audio output in the
passband and stopband?
Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

The sharper the filter the more the filter rings. And it will ring to the tune of off frequency signals as well as on frequency signals. I should like to disagree. Neither of my two filters ring. Signals 5 kHz off frequency sneak past the 500 Hz and the 250 Hz filters in the Icom IC-706mkiiG. I know it is "blow-by" because I hear the signals offset by the correct amount (2.5 kHz to 7.5 kHz) as high pitched (Morse). I can tune in these signals and of course they are _much_ louder inside the filter passband. Signal strengths I am talking about are 40 over S9 within the filter passband and S5 or less when "blowing by" the filter. I trust that this is not going to be an issue with the ic7000 Scanned by WinProxy

If you are correct with pricing then it will be a big mistake for ICOM. P49K --- In ic7000@..., MKM <mab2000@v...> wrote: Respectfully I disagree.
Icom seems to have their own pricing agenda. In a sense they do not
compete with Yaesu or Kenwood in their minds. I truly believe that they
believe they are the best and charge accordingly for their radios.
Of course I want lower prices like everyone else but, this time I truly
believe the radio will cost around the price I stated before. Again
they will not compete with the likes of yaesu ft857 and such.
People will still buy the ft857.
Most of the people on this group will go for the 7000, especially
owners of 7800 and pro3s.
I always been an Icom person. This is like being an Apple fan. Yes they
charge more, but boy what an experience.

It would have to have more bands like 222MHz to be
worth more than what an 857D goes for.
