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?

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

What are your choices for new? The TS2000 or the Icom 9100.
Used, now there are many more options. Hard to find anything to fault about the Kenwood TS790, except that it doesn't do 6m.

There aren't any satellites on 6M.
There's always the "old fashioned" solution, an HF receiver, an HF transmitter and a pair of converters or transverters. They're still available for the microwave bands.
There must be older 2M and 70cM multimode rigs available used ( IC211E, TS700, IC202/404 etc) that will happily drive transverters for the higher bands and amplifiers for their own band.

You can purchase not two IC -7000s but three IC-7000s for the price of one IC-9100, and still have $200 left over !
A young nephew of mine -who is a Tech- is studying for his General, and he was eyeing both the IC-7000 and the yet to be released IC-9100.
Have no doubt - now - that he will purchase an IC-7000 .

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.

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.

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?
