Can someone translate this?
They‘re just quoting my earlier post and like my suggestion of a new model, possibly named R40.
It would be weird for Icom not to build a successor. The units sold out. Anyways, I prefer a BNC connector, but understand why they went with SMA. It’s easy enough for me to use an adapter.

Yeah but icoms reason for scrapping the R30 early was shortage of processors. They are sticking money in this new one coming out. That will take resources. If the do make a better R30, don’t expect it for a few years.

I expect an announcement within a year or so.
Looking forward to the IC-R15 being launched...

I would love to see an R40 but for now I'm still enjoying my R30.
Translation: Suggest that icom will introduce the successor of R30, such as R40? This is good news.暗示icom将引入R30的继任者，例如R40？这是个好消息

IF Icom does make a R40 (replacement for the R30) that is better than the R30, I will sell one of my R30's but still keep one.
Ray Novak didn’t mention it at Hamfair. Maybe they’re taking the Yaesu approach and have no knowledge until it’s shipping 😊
I still have an R20 I ordered from Japan about 7 years ago ( unblocked ) still works great, have the ARC R20 software for it.

I bought an R20 in 2007 from AES in Las Vegas, NV.
It's been overtaken by the R30, but it's a nice-looking radio and it still does a great job with analog signals.

With all this talk about the IC-R20, feel the need to get my IC-R3 back out and play around with it.
Another neat little Icom wideband receiver.
I sure hope Icom puts a better display on the R30 successor.

I don't mind the display. A color screen drains your battery faster.
I never said anything about a color screen did I ? Stop putting words in my mouth.
The fact is the display on the R30 is rubbish and devalues the usefulness of the receiver.

I'm quite happy with the IC-R30's screen, it does what it needs to do.

I don't have an R30 but the comment about why they are ceasing manufacturing:Due to manufacturing difficulties ICOM Has halted production of the IC-R30. This tells me that future repair may be seriously impaired. Sounds like a critical part, someone mentioned the processor, may now be unavailable.

Icom likely has a decent stock of spare parts on hand to repair units.

Until a radio gets discontinued, Icom will stock parts for repairs. Had my R30 sent in a couple months ago. No problem’s getting fixed.
