I managed to snag one of the brown box deals from Gigaparts yesterday. IT IS the IC-7100!! What a great deal! It shipped same day and arrived here north of Atlanta the next day. Woo hoo!!
My Mom, now dead, was pro ham. I offered to get her a dual band tech rig if she got her Tech. Did not take me up on it. Kept asking every so often, but not at a nag rate. Even took her to a ham club's Sat. meetings. They ean😅her to come. Idea for Mother's Day!
The IC-7100 meets all the descriptions of the radio. It's supposed to have a removable head, and of all the current hf/vhf/uhf radios, it's the only one I can think of, or did I miss one? Lemme know...
That's what I was thinking too. Makes sense as Icom is celebrating their 60th anniversary so one might think there will be some discounts on their gear.
