[amsat-bb] Re: IC-9100 best price ever
That's a great discount, too bad the radio is still $1500 over priced.. I got the chance to play with one for a couple of hours and although the HF is a little better than my TS-2000 still doesn't come close to my Flex 5000, its not worth the price difference of a TS-2000. Even with the added price of the down converter to fix the birdie problem with the TS-2000. Just my 2 cents worth. 73, Craig W1MSG -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Stefan Wagener Sent: Friday, November 23, 2012 1:59 PM To: Amsat - BBs Subject: [amsat-bb] IC-9100 best price ever Interested in upgrading your satellite radio?

Thanks Craig, No problem. I sold my TS-2000X and bought the IC-9100 a while ago. I will never look back. The Icom runs circles around the TS-2000. To each its own. Have a great Thanksgiving!

There aren't any satellites on 6M. There's always the old fashioned solution, an HF receiver, an HF transmitter and a pair of converters or transverters. They're still available for the microwave bands. There must be older 2M and 70cM multimode rigs available used ( IC211E, TS700, IC202/404 etc) that will happily drive transverters for the higher bands and amplifiers for their own band.

[amsat-bb] Re: IC-9100
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. 73, Jim KQ6EA On 02/25/2011 08:01 PM, John Geiger wrote: But just because something is listed as a satellite radio, why only limit it to the satellite bands?

There must be older 2M and 70cM multimode rigs available used ( IC211E, TS700, IC202/404 etc) that will happily drive transverters for the higher bands and amplifiers for their own band.

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) -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Andreas Junge Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 4:02 PM To: AMSAT -BB Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: IC-9100 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.

[amsat-bb] Re: IC-9100
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.

As an extremely pleased owner/heavy user of a Kenwood TS2000X, it is interesting to see that ICOM has (finally) also a kind of similar radio now, the IC-9100: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/5091.html Will be interesting to see if it also has a satellite mode, but based on the number (910 + another 0 added) I assume it will. Let's see how this compares to the many built-in DSP features of the TS-2000X. The TS2000 was (one of) the most feature rich radios when it was launched. ICOM now has had the opportunity (8+ years later) to take advantage of all the SDR developments and ICs that came available in the past years.
