I'm vacationing in Japan at the moment, visiting relatives. It is sweltering so we stay mostly indoors, but I have been a couple of trips to akihabara. Initially I only meant to buy a used ic-7100 this year, but then of course I also needed a new psu, so alinco was it. After a couple of days I realize that an brand spanking new ic-7300 was half price compared to home (provided I manage to avoid VAT coming home) so I bought one. And now I of course need a new antenna for all this fancy new equipment..... It snowballs.
I know I'll have to do mars mod on the radios. No trouble. That's easy.
Actually my main worry is my baggage allotment when flying back home.
Lol I like your style, I just picked up an IC-7000 myself for the same reasons, I get it :)
