HI from Ken in the UK,

I was at a radio show here in the UK about two weeks ago and this new
receiver was on display.
The spec is equal to the 'ICOM-7800' regards 'IP2' and 'IP3' on the HF
frequencies, in fact it's meant to be the companion RX for the '7800'.

If the 7800 has a main receiver and a sub-receiver with external
speaker connectors for each, I wonder why a companion receiver would
be needed, especially one with a different range of frequencies.

The price quoted for the UK is............£7.000.00 ( around about
$12,000.00 US ).
It will sell and sell very well, but not to us poor SWL's and Amateurs I'm
afraid.

Cheers all, Ken, G4KIR.
