\"\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Paul Evans<\/a>, who writes:<\/p>\n

As you’d expect, Icom has formally delayed the delivery schedule of the IC-705.<\/p>\n

Here’s the announcement from Icom Japan: https:\/\/www.icom.co.jp\/news\/4720\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The following is a machine translation of the announcement:<\/p>\n

“Thank you very much for your patronage of ICOM products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have received reservations from a large number of customers about the IC-705, a 10W walkie-talkie with HF~430MHz all-mode, which was scheduled to be released in late March 2020. Some of the parts involved in the production of the product are delayed due to the new coronavirus issue, and production has been delayed due to this.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We apologize for any inconvenience caused to all of you who are looking forward to our products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As for the delivery of the product, because it is a situation in which the arrival schedule of the part does not stand now, I will guide it separately as soon as it turns out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will take a while to deliver it, but we will do our best to deliver it as soon as possible, so please understand us.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for sharing this, Paul. No doubt, delays are due to the affects of Covid-19 on both manufacturing in Japan and throughout the IC-705 supply chain.<\/p>\n
