RE: [amsat-bb] IC910 reviews

["Howard Long" <howard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes I'm interested in the IC-910 too...

In particular can anyone tell me if it has the following functionality?

o	Any transverter/converter options (eg very low power function, RX only
function, frequency display offset etc)

o	FM Discriminator meter

Although cheaper than the TS-2000, The 910 only has AF DSP and that's an
option. It does have true all band all mode dual RX, the TS-2000 only has
FM/AM V/UHF dual RX. There's no TNC on the 910. There's no HF on the 910. In
functionality terms, the IC-910 looks almost identical to the old TS-790
except a bit more power on 2m and 70cm and 9600 bps packet by design.

It looks like the 910 already has a 23cm option available but the TS-2000
doesn't.

The Jury's still out in the G6LVB shack...

Can any of the first purchasers of the IC910 provide
performance feedback for the AMSAT group??  Sure looks like
an interesting new radio.
