Wednesday 9 December is the last day that the ICOM plant in Wakayama Japan will
produce the <STRONG>IC-706MKIIG</STRONG> transceiver.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>ICOM Australia said it has checked with Japan and been
reassured that the earlier advice received that the popular transceiver has been
discontinued <EM><STRONG>is correct</STRONG></EM>.</FONT></P>
