Icom: IC-9700

[iMONITOR]

Does anyone know if the ICOM IC-9700 has wide-band receive? I would think it would but I can't find anything to confirm it.

Thanks! For some reason on ICOM's site, it did't show that, it just said:
All mode, tri-band transceiver covering 144, 430/440 as well as 1200MHz
They often will say that, follow up with 'receive is wide band'.

The other links on that page that went to PDF files were not opening for some odd reason as I open PDF's all the time on web sites. Anyway that's a shame. But I understand they would not want to negate the market for their IC-R8600 receiver.

Do you have an IC-9700?

I'm in the middle of a local 2m simplex net right now on my 9700. Its ham band only on receive and so far no mods for anything out of band.

Envy is not due here, all this stuff can be a burden.
