[ICOM] Icom 9100

[Adam Farson]

Hi Paul,

>From what I am seeing on the IC-9100 group, the radio is doing quite well
and none of the new owners are complaining about its packaging. Its
appearance differs from that of the old 746Pro in a number of ways - in
particular, its screen is much larger and its controls are differently laid
out. The rounding of the front-panel edges is in line with other current
Icom radios.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

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
