have an Icom IC-A15 which works really well with a longer antenna.

djpil, Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that before, but certainly explains whats going on.
The A15 looks good, They say the new legal replacement should be out 2015-2016.
2015 is now over, I wonder when (if at all) the replacement will be out in 2016.

Whats everyone's take on this Icom A15 exemption.
They can be bought now, but are they going to cancel the exemption when the new model comes out, and make them illegal, or will they be legal to own and use for as long as it keeps working.

Strange scenario. Id wait for the new model if it was out soon, but dont want to wait a year or so. And will they include the Typical Aussie inflated price (because they are the only legal model).
