It is under this designation that the successor to the IC-706MKIIG has been announced. We should know some more soon, since it will be available in the second quarter of 2005, according to information supplied by ICOM France.
The sketch, derived from CAD, shows a rather unusual attractiveness; if anything, it is somewhat revolutionary! Here we see for the first time the colour screen as adapted to a multi-band transceiver with detachable control head.
Here are the main characteristics as announced:
· The rig will be equipped with IF-DSP, which will control Twin PBT and Noise Reduction (NR) features, an inheritance from more sophisticated models (IC-756ProIII, IC-7400 etc.) The IC-7000 will not require or accept optional filters.
