PM<BR>Subject: [IC-706MKIIG] No more IC706MkIIg<BR><BR><BR>>I just read that
they are not making the MkIIg any more. Supply is<BR>limited<BR>>to
what is in stock. Reason ICOM gave was that they can not get
some<BR>of<BR>>the supplies they need to make the radio.<BR>><BR>>
Sorry to see this go by the wayside like so many other good
