It's coming in Spring, which officially starts in just under a month.
If that figure is accurate it's actually cheaper than what I expected the IC-R15 to be.
If it is $332, should sell fairly well. Once you do a good review, I’ll decide then if I buy it.
It will be more than that in the US.

Thats a bit pricey for a non P25 receiver.
$350.00 would be my max
Has anyone noticed the frequency gaps that the official site shows for this radio, this is what I copied:
一般仕様
周波数範囲
Aバンド/
Bバンド
108.000～253.795MHz
255.000～261.995MHz
266.000～270.995MHz
275.000～380.195MHz
381.325～411.995MHz
414.400～500.000MHz
Some pretty wide gaps in areas, would be a no go for me since I have activity in some of those areas

Those frequency gaps may be specific to the Japanese/Asian market.
Don't expect them to be present in the American version of the IC-R15.
I will be buying this radio😁...

In some reviews, I have seen 76Mhz to 500 Mhz ??? , again it may be region-dependent

Here's the HRO link for the IC-R15:
Ham Radio Outlet Product Details - Item Not found
We were unable to find a product matching that product id and/or description.
www.hamradio.com
The FM broadcast band starts at 76 MHz in Japan. That spread is probably correct.

When I read this ,this screams to me an AIR band scanner , nothing more nothing less , why is there pages upon pages of it wanting to be something other than what its design appears to be ?? let the criticism begin

I agree, this receiver was never intended as a spinoff of the ICR30. It is clearly being marketed for individuals who like to monitor air band, railroads and whatever can be heard in the advertised frequency range. There is rumor though that Icom is planning a replacement for the ICR30 & ICR6, but who knows for sure.

That's my interest in the IC-R15, military aviation😀...

Same here, commercial communications too. I may just buy one to join with my ICR6 side by side, and a new device to explore.

Yeah DMR is a must have for most. Guess we’ll have to stay tuned and see what happens…
