No, it's not a tube rig, it's the latest Icom IC-7700.
See the spec sheet at the end of the brochu

Thanks for that Lamont.
The device is a transceiver and the power usage on:
Transmit is 850VA and on
Receive is 210VA

Wow John those figures are high -- is it a tube type radio?

210VA = 95.55W
850VA = 386.75W

Does sound like a tube rig.
