[ICOM] Icom 9100

[paul glassman]

I looked at the specs and options on HRO and Universal. It looks like a terrific rig, however with d-star 1.2 gig and roofing filters  $5k?, I dont know about that. Built in rtty is no major deal.  Like I said, it looks like a nice package, however a ts2000x and computer software for less than $2k will do about the same. From a marketing standpoint, it looks like an ic-746. Now I realize it's not, but why would they want to market a $5k rig that looks like their former 746 that now sells for $700 used. A marketing blunder.                              My uneducated expert opinion. 73  Paul w8jn

Has anyone on the list used the Icom 9100 yet?  If so, what are you impressions of it?
