[South Florida DX Association] ICOM IC 9100

[Bill Dzurilla]

I'm a VHF guy, so I had been waiting for this rig for sometime.  But the $3800 price tag, for a radio without even a color screen, has scared me away.  HF folks, do you think the HF portion of the 9100 is much more than a 7410?  To me, the 9100 seems a lot like a 746 Pro with the addition of 70 cm, duplex, and a few other features.

Anyone tried out the 9100 yet?  What do you think?

73, Bill NZ5N
