ICOM IC-905
The Icom IC-905 is Icom’s entry into the GHz bands, looking very similar to the IC 705 and using
Icom’s tried and tested radio firmware, obviously there are some differencies but still as easy to
use.
It can go as high as 10GHz using an optional Transverter, if you’re into operating on the GHz band
this has to be the radio for you.

ICOM IC-7760
Wow the new Icom IC-7760 looks good to me, the screen does resemble the IC-7610 but
capabilities are something else, it’s an HF and 6M radio and comes as two parts (seen that before),
not sure when it will be available as yet (Hopefully 2024) but get a taster from Hayden VK7HH by
clicking on the video above.

Yaesu FTX-1F
Ok, so Yaesu are not going to be outdone, After the sad demise of the FT’s 817 and 818 they’ve
not really had a QRP portable radio, okay so they have an FT891 and you could always drop the
power but this new radio really does look the business. Like the IC-705 it can go up to 10W using
an external power source. Cannot wait to see this for real for 705 size comparison.
Many thanks to Peter Waters for providing the You Tube video.
It is in such an early stage I cannot even find a brochure for it yet.

Yaesu FT-DX 10
New Radio’s
Icom ic-905
Are they serious? You bet they are, This radio was shown at the
Dayton Hamfest, this time rather than looking like a 7300 (as
the 9700 does) this one looks like a 705 but that’s where the
likeness ends. this one is 144 MHz. 432 MHz. 1.2 GHz. 2.4 GHz.
5.8 GHz. and 10 GHz. So if you want to play with GHz this has
to be the radio for you, not my thing I admit but even I have to
say, This looks awesome. We’re starting to really expand the
hobby and this goes a long way to doing just that.
