[amsat-bb] US IC-9700 prices announced

[Jerry Buxton]

Kinda like PCs.  I paid $1800-someodd dollars for a new FT-736R in
1993.  Today a rig with similar function but way better performance (I
presume!) is about the same price.
$1800/25(years)=$72/year.  Not bad.  And it still works.  If the 9700 is
worth a hoot it would only be about $84/year when I'm 88.  What a bargain!
