is this the most expensive HAM radio? It seems ICOM keeps rasing the

Microprocessors,networking equipment and linux.

Really. I'm retired, but don't seem to have lots of disposable
income. And if I did decide to dispose of $10K it wouldn't be for a
radio, especially an ICOM. Down payment on a new Corvette maybe...but
not a radio.
