Hello Gene, I do not want to publicize any Japanese dealer in this mail listing because I am not a radio dealer or doing any radio dealing business. The official full listed price of Icom SP23 is JPY12,800 (+VAT) IC-7600 オプション｜アマチュア無線機器｜アイコム株式会社

Furthermore, street retail price is at a handsome discount on the official full listed price. If you want me to give your more details about ham shops in Akihabara, Tokyo, please feel free to contact me off-the-list. 73 Johnny VR2XMC 寄件人︰ Gene Gabry <[email protected]> 收件人︰ [email protected] 傳送日期︰ 2015年09月15日 (週二) 8:46 PM 主題︰ Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SP3 External Speaker details Johnny, Are you sure that's not a knock off at that price? With the yen devalued, hovering around 120:1(USD), I would think it would be more expensive in Japan than what it sells for in the US. I've been to Akihabara many times, and I would tend to question its authenticity. I'll be back there this October, and will check it out. 73 Gene N9TF -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Johnny Siu Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2015 6:25 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft SP3 External Speaker details The retail price of ICOM SP23 in Akihabara, Tokyo is now about USD80. 73 Johnny VR2XMC 寄件人︰ Terry <[email protected]> 收件人︰ [email protected] 傳送日期︰ 2015年09月15日 (週二) 7:08 PM 主題︰ Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SP3 External Speaker details Just because others are doing it doesn't make it right! 73, Terry, KQ5U On 9/14/2015 10:01 PM, Gene Gabry wrote: > > Very good point Tony.... > http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/speakers/1696.html > > Puts things into perspective :) > > 73 Gene N9TF > > K3S 10057 > >> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SP3 External Speaker details Have >> any of you who are complaining seen the prices of speakers from other > radio manufacturers?
