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.

Congrats, and careful with that mod. I purchased a used 7300 a while back that someone did a terrible wideband mod and antenna tuner mod.
