Has no effect on the price. If it did, all the other radios, Asian

purchase was made to Icom Japan by Icom America long ago.

Maybe I
missed some news or something ... or maybe Icom or the dealers are just
shafting us hams. I mean, its not like they came out with some new

for the 706. Its the same ol 706MKIIG, just $200 more (new)

My guess is so they can lower it just before Dayton.
