IMHO, I think the most disappointing aspects of the new Icom IC-R20 is
lack of extra bandwidth/filter options (if the specs we're seeing are
the final version? It looks like it just has one bandwidth option per
mode). Considering the a wide freq coverage, 150KHz-3.3GHz.


The AOR 8200MKIII has more filter options & it's coverage is up to
3.0GHz, as an example. AM N, AM W, NFM, SNFM, WFM, USB, LSB, CW.

I think the new ICOM IC-R20 is very disappointing. No trunking, no digital,
and way over priced! What market is this going to appeal to, that has not
already been met by many others, at a more reasonable price?

If you're considering buying one, hold off for awhile, as I'm sure you will
be seeing deep discounts when inventories don't move.
