So far I'm really happy every time I use the 7100 and it hasn't done anything to annoy me yet.įinal comment, for a shack in the box type radio with HF plus VHF/UHF I don't think you can beat the 7100 for its price and I think it will outperform some radios costing a bit more. I should also mention I'm not a casual radio user and usually operate higher end contest type radios and easily get annoyed with mediocre performing equipment. Next month my second 7100 will be planted near Boston with a similar setup.

The 7100 does not have a tuner but the LDG IT-100 is a perfect match and pushing the tune button on the radio starts the tuning cycle just like an internal tuner would inside the radio.įast forward a few months and one 7100 control head is sitting in front of me in So Cal running right now with the rest of the radio sitting near Dallas, TX into an end fed HF antenna and a clone of a Comet GP-9. I liked the 7100 so much I bought a second and if the Icom 706MKIIG in my truck breaks soon I'll buy another 7100 for the truck. With sales and rebates I ended up paying about $749 which is a bargain. If you cut the limiter and turned up the power pot, maybe, but not this way.
