Ted,
Stephan gives some great comments on all three radios.
As for the 847 on HF, I think there is a audio clip on the internet
comparing the 847 and TenTec Corsair II receivers. I have both of these
rigs and the difference is very clear. Listening to my 847 on HF is not a
pleasurable experience as the receiver is very noisy. For this reason, my
old Corsair II does all HF work at least until I get a new HF rig. Eham
reviews on the Corsair attest to its great receiver.
As for satellite operations, the 847 is a tough and a great rig. Mine has
been running since the beginnings of AO-40 with no problems. It has some
engineering mistakes like the AF gain not being linear along with other
quirks but I've gotten my investment back many times over.
If you've got the cash, I would read the QST review on the 9100 and make
an executive decision.

Mike,
When I bought my FT-847 in 1998, I got the optional mechanical SSB
filters.
I left in the stock filters for a few days, and then switched to the
optional ones. It made a significant difference, both in reception, and
when using the speech processor. The stock filters are still in the box
in
the basement.
73s,
Alan
WA4SCA
PS Just converted completely to the Flex VU-5K, which is truly a whole
new
ballgame.

Thanks to all who worked me yesterday while I was on the EN21/22
gridline. I think I worked everyone that had emailed me and wanted the
grids plus a few more.
I have uploaded all contacts to LOTW using AC0RA but who know how long it
may take to show up. If you don't see it in there soon let me know and I
can try agn.
If you want a paper QSL just shoot me an email with qso data and I will
send a card your way and no need for sase or return QSL.

All I can say is me too. I bought the Collins mechanical filters and the
difference was astounding on both transmit and receive. Had many
comments on the change.Best $300 I ever spent.
