Not many would buy it at $2000.
What was the price of the '751 at its prime, and the price of the IC-7600?
My prediction, 7000 price downward, 7100 assumes the current 7000 price.

First, the 7100 is not a replacement for the 7000 and thus the price really has no need to be equal. Second, the price of the 7600 is $3750 which is not relevant as they fill different needs. Third, the 7100 is HF/VHF/UHF with D-star. This makes it closer related to the 9100 in portable or mobile form.Originally Posted by N1LAF
Im willing to bet that many of them will sell at between 1800-2000. Just look at the cost of the Icom D line HT and dual band Mobile rigs...Not to mention those that will buy it out of simple curiosity.
That being said, I too feel that $2000 is a bit high. $1500 sounds about right and closer to the initial cost of the 7000.
In the end, all we can do is wait and see but I have to agree with Jim on this one. $2000 give or take is the most likely.

$600-$1000 overpriced.
I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
You can thank the addition of Duh-Star for that.

Maybe it will go "on sale" from Icom in a few years. I really like the design, overall.

No way I'd pay $1699 for the thing, D-Star or not, but maybe they'll drop the price on the IC-7000 now?
Nah.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Not enough knobs for me. They could add a whole bunch of them if they got rid of some of those switches, and moved that damn display to the back.

I wouldnt either. However, look at the cost of a simple dual band D-star unit. I bet the price settles down to about 1399 at some point. Either way, I bet a lot sell.

The 7410/7600/9100 class of Icoms aren't bad. The new Yaesus/Kenwoods (except the TS-590, for some reason) look like someone got drunk on a Friday afternoon and found Photoshop.
The big-screen-in-the-radio thing seems to be the last vestige of fighting the integration of computers in the shack. But, at the same time I can understand the fear of putting in an IF output and suddenly the integrated panadapter (a la Elecraft, or AOR before it) becomes unneeded.
