[amsat-bb] Re: Icom 9100 release date?
Hello I believe it's the IC756 ProIII that has been discontinued not the 746pro and Is the 9100 actually a Satellite transceiver. I havent seen any proof of full duplex operation and doppler control thanks Howard VE4ISP - Original Message - From: "John Geiger" To: ; ; Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 2:54 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Icom 9100 release date? >I see that both the Icom 746PRO and the Icom 910H have been discontinued, >and I am assuming that the Icom 9100 is the replacement for both of them. >Any word yet on when it will be made available? > > 73s John AA5JG > > > > ___ > Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

Although there has been some talk about various models being discontinued, both the 910 and the756ProII are still very much evident on the Icom America website! The 9100 is billed as a satellite transceiver (I mean it does has a little button on it marked "satellite", so it must beyes?) but in essence its a TS2000 clone (a shack in a box) and my fear is that because it has so many features packed in to it, its only going to be as good as its weakest component. I will wait for those operators with vastly deeper pockets than mine to give it a thorough shakedown before I would consider trading in my trusty 910 - after all, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Sometimes I think we are a bit guilty of being "rig tarts" (quaint English saying meaning to be enamoured of the next shiny box that comes along to the detriment of our existing gear!) -- David KG4ZLB www.kg4zlb.com Howard Kowall wrote: > Hello > I believe it's the IC756 ProIII that has been discontinued not the 746pro > and Is the 9100 actually a Satellite transceiver. > I havent seen any proof of full duplex operation and doppler control > thanks > Howard > VE4ISP > > > > - Original Message - > From: "John Geiger" > To: ; ; > Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 2:54 PM > Subject: [amsat-bb] Icom 9100 release date? > > > > > ___ > Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

According to the AES website both the 746PRO and the 910H are listed as closeouts, and Gigaparts doesn't even list the 746PRO for sale any longer. The 9100 will up the ante on the TS2000 by doing dual receive and allowing for optional roofing filters to be installed for HF/6m. 73s John AA5JG --- On Thu, 11/19/09, David - KG4ZLB wrote: > From: David - KG4ZLB > Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Icom 9100 release date? > To: amsat-bb@amsat.org > Date: Thursday, November 19, 2009, 9:20 PM > Although there has been some talk > about various models being > discontinued, both the 910 and the756ProII are still very > much evident > on the Icom America website! > > The 9100 is billed as a satellite transceiver (I mean it > does has a > little button on it marked "satellite", so it must > beyes?) but in > essence its a TS2000 clone (a shack in a box) and my fear > is that > because it has so many features packed in to it, its only > going to be as > good as its weakest component. > > I will wait for those operators with vastly deeper pockets > than mine to > give it a thorough shakedown before I would consider > trading in my > trusty 910 - after all, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" > > Sometimes I think we are a bit guilty of being "rig tarts" > (quaint > English saying meaning to be enamoured of the next shiny > box that comes > along to the detriment of our existing gear!) > > > -- > David > KG4ZLB > www.kg4zlb.com > > > > Howard Kowall wrote: > > Hello > > I believe it's the IC756 ProIII that has been > discontinued not the 746pro > > and Is the 9100 actually a Satellite transceiver. > > I havent seen any proof of full duplex operation and > doppler control > > thanks > > Howard > > VE4ISP > > > > > > > > - Original Message - > > From: "John Geiger" > > To: ; > ; > > > Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 2:54 PM > > Subject: [amsat-bb] Icom 9100 release date? > > > > > > > > > > ___ > > Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. > Opinions expressed are those of the author. > > Not an AMSAT-NA member?

According to IcomAmerica, the IC-9100 is slated for release at the Dayton Hamvention next year. When it actually becomes available on the US market is up to the FCC. It is the replacement for the 746 Pro and 910H, hopefully it won't cost as much as both of them together.

Actually, if it did cost as much as both the Icom 746PRO and the 910H together, that would put it at around $2600. That would be a heck of a deal for a radio that did all those bands, had dual receive, and used roofing filters. I am guessing it will cost more like $3500 or so. 73s John AA5JG --- On Fri, 11/20/09, Jeff Moore wrote: > From: Jeff Moore > Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Icom 9100 release date? > To: amsat-bb@amsat.org > Date: Friday, November 20, 2009, 12:19 PM > According to IcomAmerica, the IC-9100 > is slated for release at the Dayton > Hamvention next year.
