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:

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.
