Icom IC9700 latest version in box, suit new buyer

Usual story with me, had an urge to play vhf uhf but HF still dominates my world of radio so have invested in a very high end new hf radio/amplifier setup that makes my IC7850 look almost affordable and I'm off selling my vhf uhf pipe dream living in amongst huge hills in rural north east Victoria.  I am setting up a c4fm node, but thats going to be it, so one never used here IC9700 that has been here in the box for 18 months doing zero. It was approximately 6 months old when I bought. Owes me $2250 so selling at $2000 for a quick sale so hopefully someone gets a very nice fully boxed as new looking unit for $2k. It has the SMA on the rear which obviously shows its not all that old. All tests ran perfectly on it with our R2670 communications monitor so you can expect great service for many years to come from this great radio. 
When you see what Ive bought, you will understand the clean up, but you only live once of course.
