Those look like nice radios, a direct replacement for the ID-800 and a lower end (single receive only) entry level HT that is hopefully less expensive than the 91. It sounds like they worked on usability for them as well, which will certainly be welcomed by most of our local hams.
On second though, after converting the prices... 62,790 = $700US for the ID-880D 52,290 = $585US for the ID-80 Those prices include the Japanese VAT so it should be reasonable to expect them to come down quite a bit when they make it over the shore but still not hardly entry level... -Mike Oba wrote: > > > Here is the link > http://www.icom.co.jp/release/20090128/index.html > <http://www.icom.co.jp/release/20090128/index.html> > albeit it's Japanese. > > 73 > Oba > JA7UDE > -- Michael A.
