IC-7100 MARS/CAP Modification

IC-7100 MARS/CAP Modification

Remove the following diodes to open the referenced frequency ranges.

In the IC- 7100 the radio frequency range can be opened in various configurations. The chart below describes four radio frequency range configurations and the specific diode(s) that enable that configuration. Select only one of the four configurations.

Note Frequency range and specifications cannot be guaranteed after modification

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.

[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

Have 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.
Anyone else using psk31 with usb cable from ICOM 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.

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)

READ THIS DISCLAIMER!
NOTE: Changing settings on the factory menu could damage your radio- AND- if you do so, Icom will charge you for repairs even if your radio is in warranty. Change settings in this menu only if you have technical expertise in doing so. I cannot be responsible for damages resulting from the use of this information.





[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

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.
