I was looking at the new Icom 7760. That's a high dollar rig at just over 6 grand.

Many features are great being it has a separate RF deck and you could place the main deck out of the or even in another room via LAN cable or network clearing up desk space. It also is a dual receiver with independent and says it has 11 bandpass filters and is a 200 watt radio.

I see Icom is sticking with a direct sampling receiver but they claim this is an improved version where Yaesu went with the hybrid hetero/direc-sample which still seems to be best. Direct sampling is fine except on a crowded band where it tends to overload where heterodyne receivers don't have a problem. Yaesu solved this with the heterodyne on the front end before the direct sampling FPGA took over.

I also would like to see what Kenwood will put out someday to replace the TS590SG and market it in the same class as the IC-7300 and FTDX10.

I still have my TS590SG and makes for a great sub-receiver for my TS890 which Kenwood thought well ahead by letting both radio's talk to each via a data cable and a couple menu settings.
