SHF rig from ICOM?

ICOM may be developing an SHF rig. 

They have been doing some experiments at 5.6GHz and have asked for inputs.  At one time microwave bands seemed far too high to be of interest from the major Japanese manufacturers. 

Back in the 1970s we were amazed when the Liner 2 transformed 2m SSB for the masses.

5.6GHz ATV

Apparently it is easy and low cost to get on 5.6GHz ATV using drone modules available on the internet. A figure of £20 was quoted. A very useful point of reference is this wiki:

Local to me G3KKD has 5.6GHz gear amongst others.
