It will be interesting to see what comes out new equipment wise for the addition of these new bands, plus the 70cm band may be just around the corner here in the states,
I have heard ICOM has a software upgrade in the making for the 70cm band.
The radio is ready for that band. ( IC-9100 and IC-7100 and the're may be others)
I wonder however on the transmit filter boards, if any of the present equipment has the ability to pass the new VLF bands? I have heard no info in that regard as of yet.
I am thinking we will see a whole wave of transverters to make this work, in the interim..
Guess we will see.
All the Best

TOM: Have you received your UTC and FCC certifications yet for those bands?
I have yet to hear any have been issued.
