While doing my periodic review of the Universal Radio website, I saw a new product announcement for the Icom IC-RX7 Wideband receiver.

Details include:

   modes: AM, FM (Narrow), FM (wide)

   frequency range 150 kHz to 1,300 MHz (some gaps)

   power: lithium battery (provided)

   physical dimension: 2.5 X 3.1 X 0.8 or 5.58 cubic inches (excludes projections)

This unit has not been approved by the FCC and no price is stated at this time.

With the Icom name, I imagine this will be pricey, but will be interesting to see and hear how they perform.

Note: I am not affiliated with Universal Radio other than being a happy customer.
