ICOM IC-7100

The ICOM IC-7100 is a multimode HF/VHF/UHF mobile amateur radio transceiver. The IC-7100 has support for a wide variety of commonly used amateur radio modes including ICOMs proprietary digital voice mode DSTAR. Additionally the radio offers 100 watts on HF, 50 watts on VHF, and 35 watts on UHF.[1] The IC-7100 is unique in that it has a large detachable control head with a slanted display so the transmitter can be installed elsewhere in a vehicle or home.[2] The receiver used in the IC-7100 is a triple conversion superheterodyne and has exachellet DSP and audio filters. The IC-7100 allows for connection to a computer over USB which enables the radio to be used for popular digital modes such as FT8, Winlink, and Packet Operation.[3] Locations of nearby repeaters and sending APRS locations can be done with an optional GPS receiver attachment.[1] Notable features that the IC-7100 lacks is an internal antenna tuner.[4]
