Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributors Dave Zantow (N9EWO)<\/a> and Larry W who both note that the IC-7200 has been discontinued once again by Icom. Universal Radio<\/a> has even listed it as discontinued on their website and doesn’t appear to have any in new inventory.<\/p>\n

You might recall that Icom discontinued the IC-7200 in early 2016<\/a> and re-introduced it exactly one year later in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I consider the IC-7200 to be one of the best general coverage transceivers<\/a> for broadcast listening under $1,000 US. Used IC-7200s can be found for excellent prices–I’ve seen many at hamfests for $650 (like new) and much less.<\/p>\n

It appears that GigaParts<\/a><\/strong> and Ham Radio Outlet<\/a><\/strong> still have the ‘7200 in stock and shipping for $749.95 US after rebates. Of course, you can also find them on eBay<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
