I'm curious to hear from anyone who has transitioned from the Icom 275/475 to the Icom 9700.  I've been using the 275/375/475 with great success but they are old radios.  No idea if an upgrade would be worth it.  I do find it strange that Icom continues to provide only one ACC port which makes keying, etc., amplifiers on all three bands problematic.  I might also ask if anyone makes a break-out box that solves THAT problem.

Regarding 1296, I'm using an DEMI 50 watt transverter for that band and would hate to have to buy a 1296 amp to compliment the 9700's 10 watts.

Any experiences, thoughts, hello's from old friends appreciated.
