Possibly. It depends on a lot of things.

Unlike what the CBer Channel Jumper said, companies don't normally have
a lot of rigs on hand - especially expensive ones like the 7600. It's
expensive to keep their money tied up like that, and expensive to store
a large inventory (not to mention things like insuring millions of
dollars would of inventory). Good retailers keep a minimal inventory,
especially when they can get it replaced in a matter of days from Icom.
Additionally, with multiple stores, HRO can ship next day from one
store to the next if necessary.

It takes about a month to load, ship from Japan to the U.S. and unload.
Other factors such as shipping schedules, how busy the ports are, who's
currently on strike, etc. can lengthen that time. Plus the U.S.
distributor will carry a somewhat larger inventory due to the shipping time.

Because of all of this, the total amount of time from factory to your
door can be as little as 3-4 months, or as great as a year, generally
following a bell curve. Since the firmware update came out publicly 6
months ago (we don't know when they started installing it at the
factory), you'd be towards the early end of this, so its possible you'll
get the new firmware.
