I presume you all have seen the details for this radio. Looks to be a hot-seller if the price is right.

It is about time somebody made a product like this given how stagnant Yaesu's portable product line is.

Yaesu could have done so much more with the FT-818 than what they did.

A total clean sheet is necessary. If anything, this new Icon uses the for factor and usability of the Elecraft units. I have an 817. I like it. However, much of the new technology which has developed since the initial introduction of the 817 could and should be applied to a new QRP/portable HF-VHF-UHF unit.
