[amsat-bb] Icom IC-9700 in January 2019

[Kenneth P Alexander]

I have my eye on it to use as a remotely controlled station with the radio
in FN03.  I would operate it from my home here in Thailand.  I'm not
optimistic about the price in Canada.  However the IC-7300 is a reasonable
price, so we'll see.

I have to learn a lot about remotely controlling a rig first.
