Spoke to the Icom guys at the ham fair and the 8600 is likely to be around £2000 and the ICR30 would make a big dint in £1000 is what I was told!

Interesting! Looks like a nice radio. Very strange that they chose to only decode those specific digital modes though and not DMR.
"The IC-R30 will be able to decode D-STAR, P25, NXDN and dPMR digital (conventional) modes."
