Reading the latest RadCom I was amazed to read that the likely selling price of the new ICOM R8600 receiver based on the IC7300 is £2500!!!
Is this a joke? I was expecting the price to be below £1000.
I don't doubt this is a nice radio, but the price is stupid. At this price I hope no-one buys it and the dealers learn a lesson - don't take us for a ride to make inflated profits. By all means make a profit, but I smell the nasty side of capitalism.

Really who would buy it, GCHQ maybe?
If I wanted to be a SWL with an ambition of becoming a Ham, I would buy a new HF rig putting the Mic away in the drawer until I got my licence..
Maybe it was made with little Yuppy Junior in mind..
