But just because something is listed as a satellite radio, why only limit it
to the satellite bands? Satellite radios also make good VHF/UHF weak signal
and contest radios.

I have both an FT-847, and a TS-790. I prefer the FT-847 for satellite
work, and the TS-790 for weak signal work. It's mostly what I'm used to,
and the '847 seems to be easier to use for satellites.The TS-790 seems
to have a better receiver, and one of these days I'll use my IF-232 to
run it with SatPC32 to see how well it works on satellites.
They're both very nice radios.

Ouch! Well, for that price, you can get 2 IC7000s and keep the
change. I bought 2 IC7000s AND AH4 tuners for that price, and that's
not taking into account local price differences.

The IC-9100 is far from being a bargain - one can find pristine IC-910's for
around $900, or $1500 with the 1.2 GHz module installed. In my case, I have
plenty of HF radios, so I just needed to add UHF and VHF. A TS-2000 goes
from $1600 to $2000 ...

Andreas,
It must come with a free small car...Hi, Hi. Icom will have a problem
selling it for even $2000. Once again,
The manufacturer's don't listen to the Ham crowd. Did anyone ask for this
radio? Maybe they donate $3000 to AMSAT for an HEO bird for every one sold?
What a fund raiser that would be. Oh well, we can wish and fun about it.
Let's hope Yaesu and Kenwood get a lesson here.
73,
Dee, NB2F (Icom user)

I will never own one at that price or likely even half that! Even if
donated, I'd likely flip it for say a couple of 847's or TS-2000's. Even if
I wanted a NEW radio, It is not even in my radar as I'd prefer a
computer controlled receiver and transmitter. seems the Mega raido trend
has made a mis-step now with this model.

It seems to be price about right. It is a combination of the Icom 7410
(which cost $2000) and the Icom 910 (which costs about $1800 when you add
the filters and DSP units). The Icom 7600 costs just a little less than
this, and it doesn't do 2m, 70cm, or true dual receive.

What are the preferred Android satellite tracking programs for ham
satellites? Most seem to be intended for visual sighting.
This subject came up months ago, but without a search function I can't

Time will tell if the IC-9100 = IC7600+IC910.
I am about ready to let loose of my FT-847 (maybe).
I have a Elecraft-K3 (HF/6m) + 144/28 and 1296/28
transverters. Selling the FT-847 would allow purchase of a 432/28
and maybe a 222/28 (but this is not part of the discussion re> sat radios).
Of course the K3 will not do cross-band duplex (yet), so for that I
would have to bring my FT-817 into the picture.
So how does this stack up in $$$
K3/100 ($2000) + $600 x 3 = $3500 add a couple 100w amps and you have
over the cost of a IC-9100.
How do they stack up in performance? for satellites probably fine;
on HF? Any other problems (like birdies)??
Comparing the IC-9100 to non-sat radios is probably not fair.
