[TenTec] Argo 516 competition and "adventure" operation

[Adam Farson]

Hi Bob,

The Icom IC-703 was announced at HamFair Tokyo, and will be available in
Japan at the end of this year. I should think that it will be available in
North America by Dayton next year (or earlier).

Here is an AltaVista translation of Icom Japan's IC-703 page:

The U.S. amateur market is a relatively small part of Icom's marketplace for
HF equipment. All Icom HF transceivers are designed to meet basic ITU-R
requirements, so that they can be sold to commercial and governmental users
in the international marketplace.

Best 73,
