| ICOM IC-7100 (Click for larger photo)
The IC-7100 is a HF, 6m, 4m, 2m and 70cms all mode compact radio
with an innovative slanted touch-screen LCD controller. A first for an Icom
transceiver, the IC-7100 is designed to the 70MHz band in European versions
where 70MHz is open to Amateur radio enthusiasts. To maintain its commitment to
D-STAR, all versions of the IC-7100 will come with standard D-STAR DV mode.
Since the launch of the original IC-706 in 1995, Icom has
been leading the market of HF/VHF/UHF multi-band mobile radios. The popularity
of vehicular mounted amateur radios may not be as high as the times of the
IC-706 series, but the IC-7100 has been carefully designed to reignite
Amateurs’ interest in mobile communications and brings digital communication
opportunity to a wider range of radio Amateurs.

screen dot matrix LCD (controller cannot be attached to body front)
