Friday morning before the inside exhibits I went over to East Hall to check out the only ICOM IC-9100 in the USA! Looks good… around 00.00 I’ll take two!

    Yes, the EU version works from 100 KHz to 1309,995 MHz, the US version without the cellular range, both versions receive airband.

    hey, mate, can you make short tutorial how to use R6? Its quite tricky for me. I was holding it in my hands, but couldn understand how it is controlled. There is several “layers” for each of 4 buttons or so.. couldnt get that.
    Thanks!!!

    They did the same thing with the 756PRO series but then that was almost 10 years ago and the LCD technology was still growing. I’ll never understand how or why companies decide what a new product will do! Thanks for your comment! 73’s, Mike

    Yes a color screen would be nice but I don’t have to have that. The bandscope
    would be nice too. Maybe they will add both before it come out.
    I have my money saved up for one.

    I’ve seen many comments about this rig should have a color screen but I like it the way it is. Doesn’t look too busy. This might well be my next radio, upgrading from a 706G radio. Thanks for the video.

    Great video! Thank You for posting it!!!!

    I like the features but why did they dump the 746 PRO, especially before this thing isn’t even up for sale yet? Even if I had the money for one of these, I would wait a year or two before buying. Anything this complex will need serious de-bugging and that is a given!

    Why the obsession with colour displays? Buy a Playstation instead if that is what turns you on.
    Performance and functionality is much more important than display colour.
