had id knowen i would have paid the extra $120 to save the hassle. Anyone want to buy a Brand new ICOM IC A6 $380 + postage? unused unopen .

Ive just purchased a US version and was told by ICOM after i sent then this email- Hi there i recently purchased a Us version of the IC A6. I have seen the Australian Type Approved and was wondering what the difference's are and if the American version will still function in fully in Austlralia? Thankyou for your time This was the reply The Product is known as a grey import, and as such, does not qualify for our warranty. Grey imports are sourced from un-official channels, and have the following issues: - They do not meet Australian specifications and may not be suited for australian conditions - Not covered under an Icom Australia Warranty - Not type approved - Often missing accessories ( accessories not available locally.) - No repair support ( Icom Australia not stocking parts for them) - Many unhappy customers As they are not type approved, I would strongly suggest that you do not purchase from companies selling grey imports, as by using their products you are liable to ACMA prosecution. A list of authorised dealers can be found on our website, please contact them to find an official reseller in your area. Thank you, and sorry for any inconvenience caused. So appart from warranty the question is "Not type approved means?" and affects its use in Australia how?
