Having had/have the FT-857/IC-706M2G/IC-7000 this radio And the menu system is.well.don't leave home without the manual!!! haha This is ALOT of rig for the money!! Haven't tried DSTAR yet, no rptrs in my area. I do very little SSB voice and when I do I run an amp so for me the low output on voice is a non-issue. I tested a few other rigs I have(Icom/Kenwood/Ten Tec) and the 7100 was by far the lowest! I finally got around to testing SSB voice output.īest I could get was ~50-60 watts PEP.(average was 25-30w)Īs it will do ~100w on digital modes/CW/RTTY/FM, this is not a big deal to me. Of low SSB output(and reports of early final failures) kept me away. I have NEVER liked the "looks" of this rig and the reports I bought this abt 3 months ago as a dedicated HF packet Oh-Also- Used on 6m FM a little and got good audio Vs IC-706M2G and IC-7000(VERY HOT!, even on RX)ĭon't think I have ever heard the fan run!? For ~$800 The MOST IMPRESSIVE thing is how COOL this rig runs!!!
Mic ? Don't know or care as it's used on digital andĭoes what I need.
On CW/RTTY/FM/Sound card modes it doesĭo ~100w. With the new(er)ĭigital O-Scopes it's an easy chore to check it.Īnd yes. Update-6 months in-06-DEC-21-įirst off I stand by my power reading.
