    "content": "Jim:\r\n\r\nI just switched from an FT-736R to an IC 9700 last March, somewhat \r\nreluctantly since I've had such a good run with the 736 since 1993.  I \r\nonly use the 9700 for satellite work, which is the same use I had for \r\nthe 736 (I've never used a 910 so I can't compare that radio to a \r\n9700).  Thus, I'll confine my comments to the satellite arena.\r\n\r\nMy joke about the 9700 is that it is a computer that has some radio \r\ncharacteristics.  In short, once it's mated to the computer and \r\nsoftware, it truly is an amazing piece of work on satellite. It is a \r\ndream to operate at that point handling doppler compensation without any \r\nproblem whatsoever.  In addition to its ability to handle a \r\nsophisticated connection to a computer without breaking a sweat, it has \r\nsome nice features for basic satellite operation.  One of those is the \r\nbandscope which lets me find other stations on the linear birds almost \r\ninstantly.  Another feature is the \"automatic frequency control\" (AFC) \r\nwhich I use on the FM birds only since, once enabled, it will cause the \r\nreceive frequency to lock onto the signal and shift with it as doppler \r\nchanges (I generally don't find it necessary to shift the uplink \r\nfrequency when using FM).  It truly makes a world of difference for me.\r\n\r\nI don't do EME (though I have thought about it and will likely try it in \r\nthe future), so I don't have direct experience. However, there are \r\nmultiple 9700 users that complain about frequency instability when using \r\ndigital applications with it. Many of those folks have used a Leo Bodnar \r\nReference Injection Board, which literally takes over from the 9700's \r\ninternal frequency reference.  It does require an external GPS reference \r\nclock.  Here's a link to these accessories:\r\n\r\nhttp://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=352\r\n\r\nOn a side note, you have probably long forgotten, but over 27 years ago, \r\nyou were kind enough to take a phone call from me and answer some \r\nsatellite questions when I really didn't know where to turn to find the \r\nanswers.  I really appreciated that and just wanted you to know that \r\nyour advice was helpful and valuable.\r\n\r\nHope to work you sometime.\r\n\r\n73 de Bernie, KF0QS\r\n\r\n",
