I don't even know what they cost new, but I'd only be wanting a tuner and waterfall as upgrades if they had a new model. I have solutions for those "problems" already, so no complaints from me.

I'm so glad these are finally back. I'm actually on my way to giga parts right now to get one. They have a sweet deal on a open box unit. I wanted one so bad for over a year, but they were not to be found. During the chip shortage and icom was not making them. I finally settled on a 7300 for the QTH and a 705 with a external amplifier for the mobile. Very happy with that setup but I'm finally going to get things organized the way I want them. Anybody looking to buy a gently used 7300?

First, it was great meeting you when you stopped by the Hamsource booth. I wish I had the USB case for the Evolve LTE card with me but I left it at the hotel. I never got used to the 7100's head shape. I just couldn't see it being useful mobile. I admit I'm biased coming from 2820, 706, and 7000. This video makes me want to find the old Icom to SGC tuner interface. Hope the schematics are online somewhere.

When the 7100 was first released, I was meh about the form factor - I love my 7000 and 706MK2G form factor (specifically for mobile). But, it took me a few years, but I ended up ordering a 7100. It's a great radio. What sets it apart from Yaesu, is the fact that a speaker is built into the head unit - and it's a good speaker, also there is a mic jack on the back of the head unit. Makes mobile installation so easy. I also bought a FT-891 to use with my ATAS. However, there is no mic jack on the back of the FT-891 head unit...and no speaker. So, if you mount the body of the 891 in the trunk, then you need to route a mic cable and also a speaker cable all the way from the trunk to a speaker and mic in the cab. Also, the 7100 has a nice big display screen, easy touch access for changing modes and bands. Much easier to use than my 891, no complex deep menus. And the Icom ace card - the ability to display ALL meters on the display at the same time. And, to boot, VHF, UHF, airband - FT-891 can't do that. Now, if Icom would introduce a similar all band HF motorized antenna similar to the ATAS, with direct antenna control from the 7100, it would be perfect

The IC-7100 is the Perfect All-In-One Mobile Radio! I have one in my vehicle and my head-unit is mounted similar to yours. I run with an Atas-120, a Diamond 2m and a Hustler 75m resonator antennas. The head-unit actually is awesome for operation in a vehicle. I have the mount set so that I can rest my arm on the armrest and my hand on the controller. Could not ask for better!

I wish my IC-7100 had dual VFOs. I bought the GPS and cables needed to hook it to my Mobilinked and use it with apps on my phone for APRS. Shame Icom didn't build that in. I have the cable and a LDG ProII tuner I can use with it on HF and 6m if needed. Too bad a tuner wasn't built in but I manage. I would say that even with all of these shortcomings it's still a great shack in a box that gives you great capability for home/mobile/portable use with a easy to use GUI and a built in soundcard. There are times when I'll use it over my IC-7300 or IC-705 but then again there are times when one of those other radios works better for what I'm trying to accomplish.

I loved the 7100 so much I bought a second. So good having a radio that can do most bands and modes, fairly cheap and physically versatile. We take ours portable all the time, run it in the car. APRS digi, winlink, sstv - super simple to interface. Can do 9600baud. I'd need two radios and cost significantly more without the 7100.

I have one and there are a lot of upsides to the 7100 as a mobile or portable unit not the least of which is a nice straightforward menu structure. The big downside is the fact the thing is a real power hog and you need to have adequate amps to drive it particularly if you're using a battery for POTA. I actually like the head design.

Anyways, 2 weeks after buying the 891, I realized how much that radio sucked. I found a Yaesu fan that had a used 7100 and was willing to make an even trade. That was about 7 years ago. I still have that 7100 and love it. It is my travel radio and currently in service as a back up because I screwed up my 7300.

Just getting into HF and DSTAR and was seriously looking at the 7100. Appreciate this video. I'm not sure why this wouldn't be a good first base unit.

I think it would be a good first unit. People just can't get past the wedge.

7100 is damned good working radio, and you can see the screen in any lighting conditions...nice on colour but if yeah cant see the screen out in daylight whats the point?

The only reason I'm looking at a Yaesu FT-891 instead of the 7100 is the price.

They are both good radios. Just keep in mind that the 7100 has features that the 891 does not: 2m/70cm/sound card being the most major features.

I feel that one of the major downfalls or problems with this radio is you cannot Cross Band repeat with it. I can get by with an extrernal antenna tuner hidden someplace in my trunk but what is absolutely a horrible failing is the Japanese have absolutely failed by not putting Cross Band repeating capabilities in this radio.

I agree. There is always something missing. If I were running a radio company, once I defined a mobile technology, it would never come out of a mobile radio going forward. That would be my standard. Kenwood did the same with full duplex in the 72, but gone in the 75.

Hi TO - of course it works well, but it's not practical as a mobile set up for me - not being flat. Hence I loved the IC7000 with it's separation option (despite really high power needs). Still baffled why nobody makes a modern IC7000. Good video as usual mate.

Thanks for watching! I would love to see a color screen with a waterfall and tuner. Its a sweet little setup.

Besides being an Icom ( ha ha ha), it’s not a bad radio. I’ve used one a few times doing POTA activations (another ham’s radio) and it worked great. The only downside to it is that I didn’t know where specific settings were. 😂 73!

The 7100 is a good radio but never fit my vehicles due to the size of the head. This is why there are options for radios.

The funny thing is the 7100 isn't even discontinued (yet) - they just can't source parts.

If they would only give us the 705 with a seperate head, 100 watts, and a tuner.
