The only instances of the 7000 model number of which I am aware are the IC-R7000 receiver and the IC-F7000 DSP-based commercial/marine HF-SSB radiotelephone. 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. "In technology, there are only two degrees of freedom: forward and down. There is no backwards." Cheers for now, 73, Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ -----Original Message-----

Subject: [ic7000] Unit Name I wonder why Icom would use the same "name" for a new radio - "IC- 7000" - that they used for a unit a few years ago. 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.... Clint Bradford, K6LCS Yahoo!

"IC-7400" is actually the "world-wide except North America" model name. On

the IC-7000, I would be hesitant to speculate at this time. We will have to wait and see. Cheers for now, 73, Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ -----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: [ic7000] Unit Name Another speculation could be that ic7000 is for the european version as the 7400 was the european version of my 746 pro?? Whaddya think? kg4ktl Adam Farson <farson@...> wrote:Hi Clint, The only instances of the 7000 model number of which I am aware are the IC-R7000 receiver and the IC-F7000 DSP-based commercial/marine HF-SSB radiotelephone.
