I bought a couple of IC-7000s 10 years ago, and with a house move next year,
and some money left over, I think it's likely there will be an upgrade cycle
coming up. ;)  Yeah I hit the "toy shop" with a $5k order in total back then. 
Needless to say he was happy receiving that order. ;)

I'll have to do some research to decide what to get next.  I can get away with
HF/6m, as the FT-736R is still doing well on VHF/UHF. :)
