My serious guess is that ICOM will bring out a IC-910H replacement, if you look at their recent offerings then there's really only the IC-910H which could be upgraded. The IC-703 has been discontinued, so unless there's a new QRP rig in the works then I hope there will be a new VHF/UHF/SHF radio

I didn't know the 703 was discontinued. Sigh--I wanted to have some friends get them. I'd like to think that Icom will come out with other radios, but given the current economy, will they do that, I wonder. SHF on a radio--I like that! --STeve Andre' wb8wsf en82 On Friday 07 August 2009 04:02

Simon please buy a used IC-910H, that way you can fix the Satellite Module! I'm sure you can re-sell it for about the same you pay, maybe more. I personally doubt that Icom will replace the 910H any time soon. That rig, given it's price tag and being only for 2m/440/1.2, must not sell very

Sadly I don't see many second-hand IC-190H here if at all. If anyone in Europe has an IC-910H to sell please let me know, only really interested in 2m / 70cms. Simon Brown, HB9DRV www.ham-radio-deluxe.com - Original Message - From: "Sebastian" > Simon please buy a used IC-910H, that
