As some of you know…Icom showed a prototype of a new VHF/UHF/1.2GHz transceiver called the IC-9700 at the Tokyo Hamfair, on September 2nd and 3rd, 2017.
“The Icom IC-7300 saw its debut at the Tokyo Hamfair August 2015 and was the star of the Dayton Hamvention™ May 2016.”

Might this imply that the new VHF/UHF Icom IC-9700 transceiver will be introduced at the 2018 Dayton Hamvention? Probably not…but you can now reserve your Icom IC-9700 at DX Engineering for $50: https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/rsv-ic-9700
This sure would have made a nice Christmas present.
