Administrators K3MRI Posted August 31, 2019 ELMER Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2019 So, here we go, ICOM is about to challenge both the Yaesu 891 and the 991A? I wonder if this might have something to do with 9700 sales. I'm not sure if they're selling well or not, but I have not yet met anyone who has bought one. So here we go... Here is the first article I've read on the prototype: https://www.dxzone.com/icom-ic-705-new-product/ Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF4IOC Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Apparently, this is designed for portable operations and only has a 10 watt output. I've checked the major vendors and they have "reservation" for the unit, but no pricing. If it's affordable and available, it might be a great Field Day kit. I definitely will be looking at the reviews that I can find. 73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may very well turn out to be a really nice replacement for the 818. To be continued ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
