[VHFcontesting] IC9100?

[WM3M]

Peter,
I owned my IC-9100 for a couple years, sold my IC-910H to buy it.  Both 
great rigs, I like the 9100 better, more features, etc.  Biggest advantage I 
see with the 9100 over other rigs, like the FT-991 that I also have, is the 
satellite capability.  Comparing the 9100 to the 991 on 2 meters and 70 cm, 
they are similar in receive, 9100 does 100 watts on 2 meters.  The HF part 
of the 9100 is basically an IC-7410.  Also you can add 1296 to the 9100. 
For weak signal digital the USB sound card connection is very good, a few dB 
better than other external sound cards I have tried.  It works very well on 
all digital modes, all K1JT modes, PSK, etc.  Plus you can add DSTAR to the 
9100.
Overall I like it much better than the older 910H.  Good luck, hope this 
helps some?  73

Anyone have experience with the Icom IC9100?  How does it compare to
the earlier IC910?  I currently have an IC746Pro (IC7400 in some
markets) and was disappointed when the IC7410 shipped without 2m.  I'd
probably sell the 746Pro if I were to get a 9100 so I'd like to hear
how well the 9100 does on HF as well (the 746Pro does pretty well!).

Peter
