Nice radio James! Mine's still in the box... bought in 2019 LOL! Just got a 4100 for a friend and got out a 5100 I bought 2 years ago in ebay. Playing with them both and having fun. So if I can find a place for the 9700 I might get it out! Mike P.S. sent shack pic to your email!
Hey Mike, so good to hear from you! I love the IC9700, it's a great radio. Mine is a little dusty as it's in the workshop. How do you find the 4100? Must have a catch up soon, miss our chats.
@@m0zah got the 4100 for a blind ham friend whos' in a nursing home. I love the radio but the 5100 does everything the 4100 does. Icom just discontinued the 5100 so something great $$$ is coming to replace it but I bet it will b a $1000 radio or close to it. Be nice if they's take the 7100, 7300 and the 5100 and combine most of their features into a kick ass mobile. But the Icom folks have their own ideas about what they think we want. Later 73
