Just wondering if anyone has an Icom IC-7200 and what their thoughts of it are ?

I am thinking about buying one .. but want to get some feedback first.

Thanks

I don’t have the 7200 but…
I was going to suggest spending another $100 and getting the IC-746 PRO. I went to copy the link to paste here
and see the $200 promotion has expired. These were just on sale at Gigaparts.com for $1150. They are still on sale,
$300 Icom coupon, for $1350 and you get a free PS-125 power supply. If you already have a power supply, sell the
PS-125 and knock another $200 off the price.
This rig has been around a while now and all the problems you will read about were on early production models and
“should” have been fixed at Icom by now.
I have had my 746, non pro, for 9 years now and have not had a single problem with it.

Thanks .. I will see what I can do. I live in Canada so I am looking at probably 40% more than the prices in the US.


NOTE .. I just looked and I am looking at 1250$ for the 7200 and 1750$ for the 746Pro. So 500$ difference.

We up here just don' t ever seem to get any deals. *sigh*
