@HamTechRadioScannerDrones Would be curious which one you would take on the road with you if you were between the two. Looking for a pota/vacation rig. Other radio for base is a ftdx10. Thanks in advance 73
I have owned both of these radios. I love them both. I am a casual HF'er and for that reason I prefer the Icom. However, if I was a DX chaser I would prefer the Yaesu. I was happy with both of them for various reasons. I do prefer Icom programming compared to Yaesu's. Sometimes on the Yaesu I felt like I didn't know what was happening and where I was at in the programming. Once you have it for a while though you get it figured out. The Icom is more usable straight out of the box. Very intuitive. I do like the color display and the scope if very nice, but I really don't need a scope since I use Netlogger to know right where the nets are located, so no need for searching. I was happy with both of them. It is just a personal preference. Of course, no internal tuner on Icom. :>( Thanks for posting. 📡
I have the 991a in my old 4x4 for mobile HF but it wont fit my new 4x4 so im looking at getting or swapping for a 7100 as this will fit. its a sham i cant fit my 991a as i do love it mobile
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones i know but i had the 991a on the top of my dash. my new jeep it wont fit. its either an 817 radio or the 7100 and the 7100 will fit better. i used to have my ts2000 on the day of my old landy
i use a yaesu 891 with an atas and an icom 2730e with a diamond 2/70 antenna. both radios have seperate head units which fit perfect in my scania truck. i can live without the digital stuff.
For me and all my friends it doesn't work on the icom ic 7100. What am I doing wrong can you help please, I called Icom and they say rtty is only possible with a pc?
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones I my friends all have the Icom ic 7100 we want to decode rtty but it doesn't work... does rtty only work with a pc on the ic 7100?
You have to touch in the upper left hand of screen where it says USB or FM and then pick RTTY from the menu. Then you have to find the frequency and then push DEC for decode. It is very easy.
I know it's been a while since you did this video, but I appreciate the comparison. 73
Hi, still have both Radio :)
