Dear Memebers

AOA

Icom is set to release a new 2m/440 HT - The IC-T70. This looks like it will be a basic, one-band-at-a-time, radio targeted at competing with the Yaesu FT-60R. The radio was approved by the FCC on 1/14/10, so look for pricing and availability information from SIPKA PVT LTD. Here is a pretty good sneak peak at this new radio, including the pre-release manual if you want to go over the specs in detail.
