[VHFcontesting] Icom 9700

[Steve (K1IIG)]

 What I would like to see is the bottom 4 bands plus 1296 as an option but do not expect it to happen. Regarding the 9700 my concern is will they have power setting per band plus will it have a transverter I/O for adding the upper bands. In the mean time I will stay with my modified 
TS-2000x  plus my Anan-10.

MY first though when I saw this announced a few months ago ?

..if this is a SDR based direct-sampled radio, there is absolutely NO
reason why they could not have a software load for the US/Canada market
that allows the radio to operate on 222 MHZ !  Maybe they would have to add
an extra filter or something, but I doubt it would be anything major that
they couldn't of worked out during the initial design phase.
