I think I have seen an Icom IC-705 transceiver in Episode 6, Season 4, of the
\nTV series “Westworld<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The microphone is not quite the original, as the one shown in the episode has too many buttons and backlight…. The transceiver can be seen at the time 5:25.<\/p>\n

I take this opportunity to congratulate you for your page. I have been a shortwave radio enthusiast since my childhood, and although I have recently become a licensed ham radio operator. I still enjoy listening to the broadcasts from all over the world.<\/p>\n

Your posts, recommendations and news are most welcome.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for the kind comments, Luciano. Also, you’ve got very sharp eyes to have spotted this IC-705! Well done and thank you for sharing!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
