Does anyone have any experience modifying an ICOM IC-9100 to be able to interface a panadapter to view the VHF and UHF SSB passbands? The radio does not have an RF out so internal modification would be required. What panadapter would work best? Any experience would be greatly appreciated.

Stefan,
Neat article, and I'd be tempted to pull it out of the radio as serial data from the AK4620B CODEC. It's already been nicely digitized for you, so you just have to shovel that into your PC over, say, USB. Many USB-enabled microcontrollers have an I2S interface, which is the output of this chip.
I wonder if my IC-746 Pro uses the same setup..
(off to find the service manual)
