Icom Teases X-023 Radio to be Revealed at Hamvention 2026
In a reel posted to Facebook, Icom has teased a new radio, the X-023 to be revealed at Hamvention 2026. Dubbed as a “concept mock-up,” the radio appears to be a mobile rig based on the focus of a vehicle through most of the video. The radio also appears to have a detachable faceplate and support multiple antenna inputs.
From hamlife.jp:
It is a separate machine that separates the main body from the main body and the operation part (display) from the image, and the operation part has four dials around the display (upper, lower and right), and the lower left part is a large size. From its shape, it seems to be a different model from the 144 / 430MHz band D-STAR / FM mobile machine “ID-5200” exhibited at last year’s “Ham Fair 2025”.
