This is BAD news for me if it is true because I just ordered my FT-920 and
I thought it was at it's rock bottom price.  Just kidding.  I did ordered
one Monday, though.

Well, there's been talks in the r.r.a.e. newsgroup a while back about a
copy cat of an IC-706 from Yaesu which will have batter value.  Does
anyone have a spy pic of such rig?
 
Best 73!
