[amsat-bb] Re US IC-9700 prices announced

[David G0MRF]

Hi Alan.



Seems on par with the UK.



Here in the UK the price is £1795. (probably the maximum they can get away with at the moment)

To compare that figure you need to remove our outrageous local 20% tax.



which is about  £1496 + 20%



So allowing about $1.30 to the UK Pound  gives a US equivalent price of    $1945 + your local taxes.



Eventually, just under 2k Dollars looks about right.

Could be a good reason to come to Washington this October......
