[amsat-bb] New ICOM Satellaite Radio?

[Keith Baker KB1SF/VA3KSF]

Greetings All! 

Some of you may have already seen or heard about it, but it appears ICOM recently displayed a new "HF/VHF/UHF" satellite-capable radio at the Tokyo Ham Fair.  

Called the IC-9100, it sports a "satellite" button (just to the upper right of the screen)  so apparently it IS designed to work the birds.  No word yet on when (if ever) it will be sold in the USA....or the price.
