Icom Amateur Radio

Noticed a couple of people claim to have received comments from icom.

Indicating their engineers are working on an update to allow continuation of supply.

Very happy with mine. Works perfect ad a radio for my small narrowboat.

Will be interesting to see exactly what parts they are having issues with supply of.

I also wonder if anyone has ever looked into creating a 3rd party replacement head unit. Seems likely the main control from head to base. Is a version of CI

If so should be possible to build a simple colour display head. Using something like raspberry pi with a display and encoder dial.
