[amsat-bb] Re: IC-9100

[Edward R. Cole]

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.
