  1. When I saw the price, I reacted by saying to myself..."that's not my mid range". I guess I'm just cheap!

  2. I have not seen a price quoted yet but I suspect it will be more than I want to pay. Bearing in mind how cheap consumer electronics has become it is hard to justify. When the IC-9100 hits the shops I think there will be some sharp intakes of breath at the price of that too. I might have to sell a few children to pay for one ;0)

  3. Don't sell your kids. Ham radio is great fun, but Kids, no matter what age are more fun.

    Is this an evil plot to make us buy the IC-9100?

    Happy new Year
