Time will tell if the IC-9100 = IC7600+IC910.
I am about ready to let loose of my FT-847 (maybe).
I have a Elecraft-K3 (HF/6m) + 144/28 and 1296/28 transverters. Selling the FT-847 would allow purchase of a 432/28 and maybe a 222/28 (but this is not part of the discussion re> sat radios).
Of course the K3 will not do cross-band duplex (yet), so for that I would have to bring my FT-817 into the picture.
So how does this stack up in $$$ K3/100 ($2000) + $600 x 3 = $3500 add a couple 100w amps and you have over the cost of a IC-9100. How do they stack up in performance? for satellites probably fine; on HF? Any other problems (like birdies)??
Comparing the IC-9100 to non-sat radios is probably not fair.

It seems to be price about right. It is a combination of the Icom 7410 (which cost $2000) and the Icom 910 (which costs about $1800 when you add the filters and DSP units). The Icom 7600 costs just a little less than this, and it doesn't do 2m, 70cm, or true dual receive.

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.

Look further down the page, the remote control software is a penny less than ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND dollars.

HRO has the Icom 9100 on it's site now for the low low price of $3799.95
Wow, when I first saw that radio some time ago I thought it was supposed to be some kind of discount radio since they didn't even include a color display. So, now I am wondering, what is the advantage of one IC-9100 for $3800 over two IC-7000 for $2400?
