Don't know what the attraction in these high priced ICOM, when there are
several Yaesu & Kenwood's that pretty well fit the bill for much less,
with enough change difference to buy an AMP to boot..!
This being said, not knowing all the bells & whistles included in the
ICOM 9100..

Anytime someone has dedicated six meter gear the asking price is about what you could buy an HF rig for that covers 10m-160m, sometimes a lot more! Guess that's what we get for being dedicated six meter enthusiasts.
