Icom IC-9100 U.S. Price Announced

[Moleculo]

HRO has listed the new Icom IC-9100 price today and is now taking orders - $3,799.95!

That price is without the 1.2Ghz module ($649.95) and the D-Star option ($219.95). Based on the feature set, it's obvious that Icom is going after the operator who is serious about satellite work and also wants a good quality HF rig without having to purchase separate rigs. It will be interesting to see how the market reacts to this pricing.

Here is the HRO ad: Ham Radio Outlet | ICOM IC-9100 | HF, 6 meters and 2 meters with 100 watts DSTAR CAPABLE

WHOA!!!!

Guess this will keep the time tested Kenwood TS-2000 going for quite a while now. Though I own one I just wish it had a quieter HF receiver.

wow

For that price I can add transverters on most of the microwave frequencies to my TS-2000. No thanks, it looks nice though!
