Here is some more information on IC-7000, from my contacts in Japan. It is,
of course, preliminary and unconfirmed.
1) The model number will be IC-7000.
2) The Japanese domestic price will be 10,000 to 20,000 Yen higher than
that of the IC-706MKIIG, i.e. 148,000 to 158,000 Japanese Yen (USD 1474).
3) ICOM will unveil the detailed specifications in the middle of April,
and start delivery at the end of April or the beginning of May.
4) The LCD could be larger than the picture shown on the French site.
5) The IC-7000 will have TV picture receive capability, like the IC-R3.

As much as I would hope this is true, but I don't think FCC Type Acceptance would be done that fast.
They may have it on display at Dayton, but not for sale until maybe the Shelby NC Hamfest a few months later.

Hi Ed,
I believe this refers to domestic delivery in Japan. The FCC certification
process will delay US release, probably until 3Q/2005.
The TV-receive capability will be of little use in Canada, as almost 100% of
TV service is on cable or satellite and there are very few over-the-air TV
transmitters left. Much of the UHF-TV spectrum has been reallocated to
land-mobile and wireless services.
Cheers for now, 73,

Hi Adam,
The capability of TV reception is a welcome addition for those
of us who are involved in ATV and would like to have the combined
capability of conversing in VHF/UHF and watching the output of an
ATV repeater on, say 421.250.

Ismail, KT6LN

Hi Ismail,
Yes, I can see that. (Excuse the pun!) The primary usage of the TVRO feature
will probably be in Japan, where most TV broadcasting is over-the-air.

Would ATV (video) reception be a rumor or a wish for the IC-7000. I'm thinking about getting but can't come up with a reason yet. p49k --- In ic7000@..., Adam Farson <farson@s...> wrote: Hi Ismail,

According to my information from Japan, TVRO (broadcast TV) reception will
be a feature of the IC-7000. We shall have to wait for the official product
announcement to be certain.
Here is an excellent reason to buy the IC-7000, even without TVRO: It is a
100% IF-DSP-based radio, with the capabilities (and likely much of the
performance) of the IC-756Pro3 and IC-746Pro, in a small mobile package.
There are no filters to buy either!

If this is true a mod to offer ATV TX would be great!

That would be a function of the DSP. If it is not offered as part of the
package, there will be no practical way for the user to add it.

Furthermore, ATV transmission modes come in two flavors AM-TV
actually VSB, vestigial side band, and FM-TV. Although AM-TV
is more common for below 1GHz, it is unknown which one ICOM
would have to choose (or both) if they had Tx capability (which
I doubt they will have).
