ICOM 7100 reveiw
Belive it or not the 7000 , 7100, and 7300 are all the same rigs , just with some tweaking and the addition of a crappie monochrome display ( why did they think we wanted that ?) And dstar ( for a lot of places the only way to do dstar is an additional 400+ dollars for dongles) then they put in a desk based body with color screen and waterfall.
I have a 7000 love the thing to death nice color screen with all the most used buttons immediately on either side of the display, it very covent and intuitive , they really made a mess of a great rig when they did the 7100.
I have known a lot of pigs and lipstick doesn't help, same deal with the 51a and 5100a cheap monochrome display that is gray on gray they don't have the contrast ability to make the text black with a grey background and what kind of a bone head move the 5100a was with a 600 buck rig that everything you need like Radio Mounts and such is an expensive option, back on the rig your thinking of I would actually say save your bucks.
[Icom_IC-7100] IC7100 DV Audio
On my first attempt to operate in the DV mode, I connected through the local access repeater to a gateway repeater and was informed by a couple of hams that my audio was very loud and distorted. I backed off the mic a bit and reset the TX DV treble and bass settings to zero. The report was not much better. Anyone else experience this in the DV mode? I ran some tests on the FM audio using a monitor radio and it was fine in FM mode so can't tell what the situation may be.
[icom7100] linking to D-Star reflector
instruction manual is huge, but...
1. Press the DR button and scroll to find your local repeater.
2. Press the TO entry on the touchscreen. Press "Your Call Sign". Press the up or down arrows to select "Unlink Repeater" to cancel any existing link. Press the PTT switch on your microphone to execute this.
3. Press the up or down arrows to chooset a reflector and press the entry select it Press the PTT. You will get a voice confirmation.
4, Again press the TO entry and choose "Use Repeater" and press PTT. You can now communicate with the reflector..
5. To unlink, repeat step 2.
Note that you can also access the repeater status and echo test functions from the "Your Call Sign" screens.

[Icom IC-7100] Low power output on ssb
I think we are all screwed, I do not think Icom is going to do anything about the low power out put on SSB problem.
Do not hold your breath.
You have what you have and you better like it .
I did the mic upgrade and yes it sounds a little better but the Power on SSB problem is still there.
So what can I do ? I guess ill live with it Until someone finds a MOD that takes care of this problem.
I do not think there will be a software fix for this unless the ALC has been compony set at an improper level.
And ICOM is trying to govern the output power levels. So I ask if any one has a fix for this please let me know I like the IC-7100 but I feel that I put my money into the ICOM technology too soon and Im just a ICOM guinea pig.I tell you on my next purchase I will truly do my homework based on real world word of mouth and join a blog group before I make my buy not after like I just did. Fool me once shame on you ICOM shame on me fool me twice shame on me.
Shame on you ICOM.....

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.

[Icom_IC-7100] Low power output on ssb
A number of users have commented that the average power output of the IC-7100 on SSB, as measured on a moving coil power meter appears low compared with other transceivers. Having made some bench measurements it would appear that this is not so much a fault but rather a result of the very effective ALC on the radio that prevents it being overdriven. A correctly driven SSB transmitter should show the following approx power measurements :
Measured on moving coil meter Measured on PEP reading meter Measured on Oscilloscope
Single Tone input 100W 100W 100W (peak)
Two tone input 40W 100W 100W (peak)
Speech input 12-20W 100W 100W (peak)
The reason for the lower reading on the moving coil meter is due to a number of factors including the inherent inability of this type of meter to follow a rapidly changing speech waveform.
Only a true PEP meter or oscilloscope will give a true indication of PEP, cheap wattmeters with a supposed PEP indication often have no more than a capacitor switched across the meter which again will not give a correct power indication.

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 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?
