Icom IC-7100 expanded frequency mod
I am looking at the document Icom produced for what they call the 'expanded frequency mod'. This is the mod concerning diodes D6315, D6316 and D6310. If removing diode D6316 it lists these as opening the 'desired frequency band':
1.6-54MHz
68-74.7999MHz
118-174MHz
400-470MHz
1.6-54MHz
68-74.7999MHz
118-174MHz
400-470MHz

icom7100 PSK31
Anyone else using psk31 with usb cable from ICOM 7100Have searched the web and youtube and have found one video but it is in russian, I am using Fldigi, receiving ok but can not key the 7100.
I was the same , and wanted to set up the IC- 7100 with HAMRADIO DELUXE, until I found the right settings
Review this page: http://www.romeo12.de/ index.php?option=com_content& view=article&id=195:icom-ic- 7100-und-ham-radio-deluxe- inbetriebnahme&catid=51: testberichte-mobilgeraete& Itemid=148
Make sure you have the right drivers first.
Then check to make sure your connectors are set properly for USB data.
These are the most common issues. I can send you a screenshot of FLDIGI on my mac that works.
ICOM IC-7100 programming banks
I am new to the IC-7100, and the CS 7100 Cloning Program. I have used the program a couple times in the last few days updating stuff on my radio, and all is OK so far except programing the Memory Channels. It list B01 - B99, C01-C99, D01-D99, and E01-E99 in the program. I put all the analog 2m repeaters in the A bank, and was going to put 440 in B, and 6m in C bank, but after putting the in a 440 repeater in one of the B slots, it did not load into the radio.
Are these supposed to work like the A bank? These are the Memory Channels, not the Digital Repeater list section.

IC-7000 vs IC-7100 - YouTube
A no holds barred, cage match between the Icom IC-7000 vs the IC-7100. See how these two great mobile HF/VHF/UHF radios stack up beside each other in an unscripted competition
IC-7100 - Remote
The latest HF/VHF/UHF rig from ICOM are supported by Remoterig. You get full remote functionality from the control panel and the feeling is exactly as if you use them locally. It’s one of the simplest rig to setup and come on the air with. No special cables needed, just connect the RJ45:s and setup the parameters in the boxes. The performance of the radio is comparable with much more expesive earlier models. This setup is going to be a Killer, believe me.
The picture below show my control panel when visiting our relatives 1500 km from home. RRC with WiFi and a Huawei 4G/LTE router with Wifi in the kitchen window is all needed. I got full control over my remote HF-station and are able to chat with the guys at home on 2m. (4G/LTE gave 20-40 Mbit and 36 ms pingtime)
ICOM 7100 power output on SSB is this normal?
I made a previous thread before going over some of the problems I have
been having with my HF setup, using an ICOM 7100 as my rig, a Chameleon
EMCOMM II antenna which is an end-fed antenna, Diamond SWR meter, LDG
IT-100 tuner, and PowerWerx 30 AMP Desktop switching power supply.
A brief summary on the previous issue, which is related to the problem I am continuing to have:
The problem I was having before was that I was unable to make any contacts on the 40 meter band or any other HF bands such as 20 meters. I tested my radio with a few Hams I know, one of them was 60 miles away from me and the other was 20 miles away. Both could not hear me transmit even though I was in close proximity to them. I ended up taking my radio to Ham Radio Outlet to have them check the radio. They tested it on FM, 7.200 mhz and it was outputting 90-100 watts which they said was perfectly normal. I was told from the guy at HRO that the radio is working perfectly. I don't have any reason to not believe him, as he was very knowledgeable and helpful. I was told that it since the radio tested fine, it was probably either an antenna problem or I need an amplifier to bring my radio over 100 watts output due to the hilly terrain of living in Santa Clarita, California. I was told that out here where I live it is a very typical problem to get a signal out in the local area, and even though I may be able to make contacts 300 miles way on SSB, locally it can be more difficult because of the terrain.

Icom IC-7100 the new ham radio. Jeff & Gary poke and prod at this new radio's touch-screen, looking at things like responsiveness, menu depth, "usability," in a very early first look.
ICOM IC-7100 QSO Recorder is low audio
I find that my QSO recordings from my 7100 is much lower then from my 51a. The audio is low in both D-STAR so and regular FM repeater QSO. Is there a way to increased the audio of the recording?

International DSTAR HF Testing Net – SUMMER Schedule
Use your ICOM 9100/7100, or STAR Boarded non ICOM DSTAR HF, or the DSTAR box from NC.
We routinely have two way communications coast to coast and North to South, South to Canada, Europe and Australia. We have had two way contacts to Japan. And have been heard in South Africa.
We are on each band only for 2-5 min. or so as to spend less time, if the band is dead we move on earlier. You can go back to a good freq after the net.
MONITOR REF030C to coordinate. WE may need to move early or if the freq is busy. We do not want to step on any AM or SSB activity.

We also use a web page to keep track of who and where we are at - http://hf.dstar-relay.net/
You also can check-in to this web site anytime 24/7 to find a DSTAR HF Ham to talk to.
We will have a PRENET for 30 min. before the start of the scheduled time. This PRENET is for ‘FREE FORM” contacts. One should check the web site
[icom7100] Re: GPS for IC-7100
You have to buy a simple USB GPS Mouse, an adapter from 12V to 5V for example for the cigarette lighter for few bucks and a simple connecor jack for the IC7100 GPS input .
Before you cut the GPS cable you must check, that the GPS mouse will provide the correct information (GPS sentence) for the ICOM. It could be that some information will be disabled. After checking and enabeling the correct information (normally with the utility program which comes together with the GPS mouse) you can cut the cable.
Use left and right cable for 5 V power (standard USB pin assignment), one of the other 2 remaining cable is for the jack (the IC7100 will need only one of them). May be you have to check whether cable 2 or 3. No risk for any damage.
Connect the jack with the 71oo and the USB connector with the power adapter and check the correct GPS setting of the 71oo. After few minutes the 71oo must show the GPS information. If not, change cable 2 with cable 3.

Updating the Internal DStar Repeater List for "Near Repeater" Function
I have seen lots of articles and posts on creating memory positions for repeaters using cloning software but does anyone have instructions on how to update the reapeaters list found using the IC-7100 touch screen, native "Near Repeater" button?

The D-STARINFO.COM website maintains is a great resource for repeater lists and lots of other d-star related things.
N1MM with IC 7100
I have tried it via CI-V on both my 7100 and 7800 and it leaves a lot to be desired. Since this thread is about N1MM it is important to note that the Icom command set (CW via CAT control) is not supported by that software. A COM, LPT, or WinKey is required to send CW. Winkey or Winkey emulator is by far the best way in my opinion and is easily configured in N1MM.
