Revision as of 13:00, 29 January 2008

On this page I have collected everything I could find on the net pertaining to the Icom IC-R9000. It is a fantastic receiver, and is always fun to operate. It is filled with features and is a great all around receiver. With its 5 inch amber CRT (or LCD) display it is still unmatched by any wide-band receiver.

NEI in Pomona CA 909 591 5885 Part number 5KTULA sub for E2-765PDN amber 70.00 each salesperson David these our made by Tosbia and also have the Matsushita Tag. The same as the factory tube I replaced on my 781. Hope this helps Phil Ai4DQ

UT-36 Voice Synthesizer Info

An American company called PIEXX has introduced their own similiar version of the Hard to find Icom UT-36. NOTE: The Piexx UT-36px speaks only in english with a pleasant male 'American' accent unlike the Icom version that speaks in Japanese or english with a female slight Japanese accent.
