First up, Icom has a new rig on the way, I stubbled across this image on another site and my first thought was "neat". I do like the layout of the remote head.
TX: 10-160 m + WARC / 6 m / 2 m / 70 cm (and 70 MHz in Europe)
RX: 0.03-200 / 400-470 MHz
While I am not a big D-star fan, this rig also includes D-star as well.
No price as of now , 8/30/2012.

Last but not least, the highly anticipated Wouxun KG-UV920R.
This is the first photo of the actual radio I have found.
The saga continues for this rig.....Now going on 2 years to be released....
There are several discussions on the internet about the faults with this radio and they are pretty much all the same. Everyone is complaining about frequency drifts and other issues. My advise, "STAY CLEAR FOR NOW"...

KG-UV920R
The price is nowhere near as "low" as has been expected, and the first units out in the field DO NOT have ALL the features the later models are supposed to support. After waiting two years for this rig to come to market and then reading the specs when the first ones were finally released...I was underwhelmed.
