The next new radio from Japan?

[GARY-2]

I saw this press release and thought I share it. It seems Icom (Japan) has
introduced their new all band/all mode amateur transceiver. It will likely
be some time before we see some version of it in the USA. More info can be
seen at: http://www.icomuk.co.uk/News_Article/3508/17675/

I like the clever design of the control head but -
Upconversion
Over 6 pounds
1.2 Amp on standby
No internal antenna tuner mentioned
Mandatory D-$tar

Seems like a combination of the worst of the old and new in what is
likely to be a very expensive package.
