I doubt JR would announce a new radio untill it is ready, or very nearly ready, for release. The day they announce the "18XYZ super X" is the day that 10X sales stop, and 10X sales are appearently still good. There are a lot of guys out there who would buy a 10X today and the new super radio 6 months from now, if they did not know the new radio was coming out, but would wait if they knew of the new radio.

Well said.
Again, I also think the market for the $1200+ radio is very small...the profit on each one is very high, but the volume is very small, and the R&D very high, so it's somethign of a "loss leader", because they could stamp out five channel $200 radios all day and sell five hundred of them for every 14 channel rig. Just my two cents...
