One UK dealer is selling the ICOM IC-705 with a 5 year warranty at extra cost. At one time (still?) these were "grey" imports that would not be serviced (I understand) by ICOM (UK) but by ICOM (Europe) if the dealer could not fix the issue.
Another UK dealer is making a "thing" about the IC-705s it is selling being "genuine" UK versions with 5MHz enabled.
My question is what is the standard ICOM (UK) warranty?
Should I buy one, I want to be assured the product could be repaired by ICOM (UK) should the dealer leave the market or go bust. In these troubled times these things could happen.
UPDATE 1847z: A quick check on the ICOM (UK) webpage suggests it is 2 years for amateur gear. See https://icomuk.co.uk/Icom-UK-Warranty.

Take a look at the description! - https://www.nevadaradio.co.uk/product/icom-ic-705/
"IC-705 Genuine UK VERSION with 5MHz enabled
(Beware some dealers are selling non UK, grey imports, without 5MHz enabled or backed by ICOM UK warranty)"
The IC-705 is becoming one of the most popular radio's along with 7300 and quite a few are being sold well worth buying and definity fits your requirements.
