The new Icom IC 9700 VHF UHF SHF D STAR Transceiver
The new Icom IC 9700 VHF UHF SHF D STAR Transceiver
The long awaited reveal of the new Icom 9700 VHF/UHF/SHF Multimode transceiver price has been listed at £1,795.95 sterling including VAT, given the fact that there is nothing else on the market that comes close feature and specification wise it seems like a fair price point.
None of the dealers seem to be competing on the price front however most dealers except LAMCO in Barnsley are asking for a paid deposit for reservation on the new rig, as I understand it LAMCO are offering a zero deposit reservation.
Due for release around February 2019 here in the UK I personally can't wait to see the reviews and the YouTube videos of this radio in action, I would be interested in other peoples thoughts.

Is SHF Included or is it a extra module?

I was looking forward to it but not interested in 23 cms so i wish you could have it without,
sadly i have used the 991a for a few days and don’t like it,
i also had 2 910hx and found them a nice radio barring there well known issues on Tx,
i await my fate,

Way to much money for a vhf/uhf + D-Star radio, i use the icom 7300 and the yeasu ft991a bought from LAMCO of course

Most intriguing!
You say this transceiver has SHF capability as standard.
Which SHF bands does it cover, 3.4GHz, 5.6GHz, 10GHz or 24GHz?
Best wishes, John.
