Hi Alan,
That's 20mm (approx. 0.8"). 20cm is about 8".
(I grew up with the metric system. "Ye kynges ffoote" joined the stable much
later in my life.)
Cheers for now, 73,

What have the past ICOM patterns been for releasing new radios over
the years? Is ICOM France usually the fist place news is heard. Or is
this uncharacteristic? I was wondering if this would be a clue as to
if this is a Hoax or not.

I remember hearing from my brother (a manager at Radio Shack at the
time) about 15 years ago Radio Shack was planning the release of a new
piece of equipment (a Ham Rig or a computer, I can't remember).
They started one of these vapor-ware rumor-mills and monitored the
discussion. When it seemed as though everybody was "sure" what
features it should have, the top execs said......"OK, build it like
that..."
They sold a bunch of them! 'Cause they gave people what they wanted.
Could it be that Icom is dong the same.....?

I spoke to Icom France (Country from where we first saw the ad) and they confirmed that they expect to have more info shortly and that the radio would see its days before the end of this semester. By experience with the french market, it always takes longer than expected but for the facts I have seen, I do believe there will actually be one available this year.

That would be a good marketing idea, but I don't really tnink so as it seems to me (IMHO) that guessing or knowing what we users expect is not that difficult. However the difficult part is to materialize the wishes into real radio with real consumer's small pocket availability, thus selling good quantities and assuring net margins at the manufacturer's expectations levels. 73 - PU2VGA --- In ic7000@..., "nm9p" <nm9p@y...> wrote:

Well, it is not in production yet so no one has seen it. But with the spec
set to HF 100w in almost the same package as the 706…A/T is not possible....

Hello all,
I just received my Icom 756 Pro III last week and absolutely love it.
I am looking for a small backup Icom with an A/T. Does the IC7000
have such a thing ? I am visually impaired and use ACC 2 and ACC 1
to use comoputer control and also to run my amp. How do you subscribe
to this reflector ? Thansk es 73
Kind regards,

The memory I have only allows about an hour of recording which will be in Quicktime format, but together with the clock, it will make transcribing the calls to the log much easier. I can even post a run on the internet so the county chasers can see what they sound like from the mobile's point of view. My camera will mark the date on the still pictures, but the time can't be stamped. What other tricks are being used to log mobile QSOs? Buck N4PGW

Yes I did read this too. But IC-718 and IC-703 came after the IC-746 and still had the conventional filter concept. --- In ic7000@..., "Oba" <ja7ude@g...> wrote:

Hi Buck,
Yes, the IC-7000 will use DSP filtering in the final IF. This is the same
technology as used in the IC-756Pro series, the IC-746Pro/7400 and the
IC-7800.
The ultimate performance of the DSP-IF subsystem - dynamic range, noise
floor, filter shape factors, noise reduction etc. is a function of the ADC
(analogue/digital converter) which is the interface between the analogue
RF/IF chain and the DSP. The faster the DSP chip, the better the filter
shape factors, NR etc. are likely to be. All the current Icom DSP- based
radios use a 24-bit ADC and DAC and a 32-bit floating-point DSP. The 756Pro
series uses the ADI SHARC, whilst the 746Pro and 7800 use faster TI devices.
The ADC used in the 756Pro series has a slightly better noise floor than
that of the 746Pro. The 7800 uses very high-quality ADC's which are rather
costly.
The demands placed on the DAC (digital/analogue converter are rather less
than those which the ADC has to meet, although the DAC plays an important
role in setting the dynamic range of the transmitter. The ADC is the key to
the receiver; if it degrades the incoming IF signal, all that information is
lost forever and cannot be recovered.
There are a number of articles covering these topics (and others) on my Icom
page.

I've been thinking that a neat project would be to build my own DVR that includes a CI-V interface so that it can automatically record the frequency and mode as well as the time. Have one button that would record the frequency, mode and time along with a voice recording on the first push; subsequent button pushes could append to the voice recording. A second button would simply log the end time without requiring a voice recording at all. I doubt I'll ever bother doing it, but it's fun to think about...

Hi!
I,m new on this group.
I,m using the FT-897D and I,m very satisfied with it.
But it,s allways interesting with a new rig.
Using IC-756ProIII in my schack.
73,s Peter in Sweden

Hi group, Dan here.(N1GXC) It looks like a nice rig and I'm going to
wait to see what the story is instead of buying a Yaesu 897-D or
other radio. I'd like it to be around $850-$1000 but I'll probably
choke on that one. I'm going to be doing some serious DXpeditions
this year so we'll see.

Subject: [ic7000] Price of the IC-7000
Hello to all and thank you to the moderator of this reflector.
Ever since I have seen the IC-7000, I have been reading and talking about it. Like most of us here, I have considered it the new IC-706 radio but after all I have read and seen, I have begun to think that 7000 is to the 706 what the 756 pro is to the 746 pro.
What weighs most strongly is the fact that it will use electronic filtering rather than the crystal lattice filter. If I recall, isn't this the same filtering technology used in the IC-7800, the $10,000 radio?
From what I gather, the 706 is the most popular mobile HF radio on the market with sales greatly exceeding its runner-up. Right now it sells for about $800 US. 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.
What do you all think?

Hi all .. wow, what a busy group for its age! HIHI ... you know, I love the
looks of what I've seen in the pix .. I downloaded the manual, etc ... my
problem is age is taking its toll on my eyes, an I can just picture going
down the road trying to take advantage of the mini screen on the 7??? ----
and if it's there, I want to use it .. HIHI This would be a great time for
someone (not me!) to jump in and manufacture a great accessory, a plug-in
flat BIG SCREEN (12VDC) monitor that replicates (?) the face of the rig ..
.. something one could Velcro to the dash, etc..... an entrepreneur could
make a killing!
I have been using (by choice) my MKIIG as a home station for the last few
months just to really learn to run it, which is hard to do while mobile. I
have been very impressed with its capabilities during contests, etc...
Right after I get my new PROIII in a couple months, I will start a piggy
bank for a 7??? if it pans out.
