mobile mounting kit and free shipping! I'm REALLY
happy!

Has no effect on the price. If it did, all the other radios, Asian
products, det., would increase accordingly. Payment for the radios w
e
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
features
for the 706. Its the same ol 706MKIIG, just $200 more (new)

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