[ICOM] RE: ID-91 - was "Iems missing in latest Icom catalog"

[John Geiger (NE0P)]

This ad says that it at least does dual reception, which is much better than the T90.

Doesn't say anything about true duplex operation, but I am guessing that it might be like the D7AG from Kenwood, where you can do full duplex if you are transmitting data, in this case the D-star mode.
