[amsat-bb] Re US IC-9700 prices announced

Hi Alan.

Seems on par with the UK.

Here in the UK the price is £1795. (probably the maximum they can get away with at the moment)

To compare that figure you need to remove our outrageous local 20% tax.

which is about £1496 + 20%

So allowing about $1.30 to the UK Pound gives a US equivalent price of $1945 + your local taxes.

Eventually, just under 2k Dollars looks about right.

Could be a good reason to come to Washington this October......
