It may be like the PROIII...
A bunch of money to get a color screen, and a few bells and whistles in comparison to MKIIG, and 7000?

I would be surprised if it's over $1000
Other than the I.F. DSP is there anything else new?

Re: How much is the IC-7000 going to cost me?
Hi Ya'akov,
To address your questions:
1. No idea. I would speculate that the initial price will be in the USD 1100
~ 1200 range.
2. The IF bandwidth setting and Twin PBT will be very similar to those of
the IC-756Pro series and the 746Pro/7400, as the DSP algorithms will most
likely be similar. I imagine that there will be 3 default BW settings for
each emission type, so you will be able to program Filter 1, 2 and 3 for
whatever BW you wish. The defaults for CW will probably be the same as on
the Pro series - 1.2 kHz, 500 Hz and 250 Hz. I believe that you are
referring to cascaded 500 and 250 Hz filters; that concept does not exist in
the DSP IF subsystem, as the DSP filters have far better shape factors than
are attainable with two cascaded analogue filters.
3. Nobody knows yet. In any event, a properly-designed charging system
should hold the battery at around 13.5V.
Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Re: How much is the IC-7000 going to cost me?
The filters are DSP so continuously adjustable to whatever you like.
I paid around $1,350 for the first 706 in HRO Virginia when it was
first introduced. So I will say the MSRP should be around $2000 and
street a little below that, say $1,799.
But this is just a guess of course.
Nobody knows if the radio can still operate at 12V yet. Stay tuned for
more info.

Re: Received email from Icom support centre
This is a nice way of saying:
1) This is Icom World technical support, not new product release page
or division!
2) Yes, of course there will be a new version of the radio as we are a
communication company doing continuous development.
3) We hope you understand that you have to wait until the new product
is released for further info :)

Hi New to group,
I have just compiled and mailed a letter to Icom Japan re the IC7000
hope they will answer soon, will post a copy of their reply on
receipt.
John G0VGZ (England UK)
& a big hello to all
ps I reckon the uk price will arrive at approx ?900 english sterling
they will have to keep somewhere in-line with the market even though
it has a TFT screen (Market prices in UK on Ham gear is rapidly
dropping and has been for a few months)
|
$1395.00 is what I remember for the first Icom 706.
I actually paid $1195.00 for a 706MKII in later years.
Then again later $995.00, and $795.00 for a 706MKIIG.

Do you remember the pricing of the 706 when it was first announced?
Many who don't would be suprised at its high level, compared to the
sub $800 that it has been available for the pase couple of years. And
of course that was the original 706 without all the improvements and
features of the latest version. Taking into consideration the changes
in the valuation of the dollar/yen down the road, one might expect
similar price changes from the introduction period ( it apears the
feeding frenzy has already begun), on through its mass production/
distribution period. Time will tell. All I know is that my $800 now
days, buys a heck of a lot more radio for the buck than what its
equivalent did back in the mid 60's when I was first licensed. Wether
or not one would want to make an investment in 'new' gear in this day
and age of possible BPL interferance is another matter.
Enjoy it while we can.

Re: Better eyes than mine
Snipped from IC-706 group:
Well, the one at the bottom says SET/REC and apparently has something to do
with the new voice recorder.
Next upwards has a recycle symbol/ANF and the other two says NBLEV. Those
three has surely something to do with the extended DSP to do and are
hopefully the end of a bad NB-era from Icom.
To the left the menu/GRP-up/dn button is new and welcomed. The other buttons
have moved around a bit from the old 706's.
Those 508 memories are most surely divided in 5 banks plus 8 home-channels
cause there is only 2 digits in channel on the display.
We should still remember that this is a CAD-picture. Not a real photo of the
front so it can still be different when it reaches the streets...
---
Here is the follow up
The top one says NB/LEV. I think the next one down says NR/LEV. Noise
reduction, probably.

I think that the knobs are the usual for the 706 models. It cant be clearly
