IC-7100 description :

The ICOM IC7100 fully covers the HF, 50, 144, 430 MHz amateur bands in multiple modes, providing 100 Watt on HF/50MHz bands, 50 Watt on 144MHz band and 35 Watt on 430/440MHz band. The unique angled radio control head features a large, and multi-function, touch screen dot-matrix LCD display that is positioned for easy view and operation. The control head's rear panel includes an internal speaker plus jacks for external speaker/headphones, CW key and microphone. The innovative interface provides quick operation for setting and editing various functions and memories. Just tap the frequency, mode, filter, function etc, and quickly navigate through the changes you want. Additionally, the touch screen also allows you to input alphanumeric characters for call signs or memory channels.

The IC-7100 provides also D-STAR mode digital voice and low speed data communication. When used with an SD card, the card can store various contents including voice memory, memory channels, D-STAR repeater memories and other personal settings. The built-in RTTY decoder allows you to instantly read an RTTY message on the display. No external TNC or PC required for reading. The eight RTTY memories can memorize and transmit often used RTTY sentences. The RTTY memory is 70 character per memory channel.
