[amsat-bb] Re: IC-9100

[John Geiger]

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.
