   Do you mean cross-band repeat?  I don't think I've ever seen any HAM
   radio that offers this "out-of-the-box".  Nor do I think I've ever seen
   any "official" spec sheet advertise cross-band repeat for any radio.
   However, as we all know, many dual-band radios that have true
   dual-receive capabilities are able to do cross-band repeat after some
   keyboard "mod" - sometimes (rarely) it's a hardware mod.  I'm sure it'll
   be the same for the ID-91 (aka a keyboard mod).
I've a Kenwood TM-742 which does that, but that's not what I'm
interested in.

   If you mean "duplex" operation...good question.  As the radio isn't
   officially for sale yet, we'll just have to wait for the official specs
   to come out.

Yes- think FM satellites.

   Apparently it is missing one of the prime features of the IC-W32A,
   however; the ability to receive on one band while transmitting on the
   other.

      Looks pretty neat.  Of course all new accessories,
      batteries, etc. will be required.

      AS posted by NE0P last week, check:

      This is probably the replacement for the W32A.  It's been a *LONG*
   time
      comming...my W32A is ancient compared to the Kenwood F6A.  I rememer
   a
      few years ago when the dropped the W32A without a replacement and
   there
      was a *HUGE* uproar from ICOM users.  At least this time, there's a
      replacement...hopefully it'll be as trusty as the W32A is/was.
