just got some education from an elmer with whom I grew up ...   he states that
comment in the IC website applies to commercial entities.  iow, we as amateurs
can build anything we want and modify anything we want as long as it meets FCC
requirements.  So, if you can find someone in China to sell you an F7000 and
ship it to you,  go get it!!

My 736 is apparently dead on SSB output so I am looking at getting another
Txcvr and the F7000 looks like a good replacement even for a shack rig.

thx

couple or three of them.

2006-08-23 Thread DuBose Walt Civ AETC CONS/LGCA
Can you purchase the IC-F7000 from anyone in the U.S.

I believe that DHS/FEMA and DoD will stay with the Fed-Std/Mil-Std/STANAG for 
ALE.  Other civilian and NGOs may choose another HF ALE standard.

But if you desire is to be able to contact or even lock-on to DHS/FEMA/DoD/NATO 
ALE signals, then follow what DHS/FEMA/DoD use.

MARS may choose to use what they please.  

The Executive Order, which Congress has let stand and now has the affect of 
Public Law, says that DHS/FEMA/DoD and other Federal Agencies will have 
inter-operable HF systems.  That means all of these will be using the SAME ALE 
standard.

Does the IC-F7000 and VX-1700 use the DHS/FEMA/DoD (Fed-STD/Mil-Std)?

Hi Chas,

The IC-F7000 and the VX-1700 are both in the "under $1500" price range.
