IC-9700 for FM & Repeater work in 2024?

The Icom IC-9700 is a great radio for CW, SSB, Digital modes, and satellite, as well as FM and repeater work.
In this video, you'll discover how to use the VFO, scanning and memory functions ++

Good video, thanks

i agree with you, for repeaters only is an overkill, I use this rig for ssb, FT8 and packet either terrestial or satellites.

Anyone knows if it can do 2.5 kHz deviation and narrow band?

[@Ei2iP]

Yes, complete over kill. I use mine for satellite, Ssb, EME and an IF for QO-100 satellite.
What a waste to use it for FM only

Way too much money for what it is. 😐
