What bands does the ic-9100 cover?
The IC-9100 fully covers the HF/50, 144, 430/440 amateur bands in multiple modes. By installing the optional UX-9100 1200MHz band unit, you can be operational on the 1200MHz band immediately.
How does the ic-9100 improve inband IMD?
The IC-9100 has dedicated receiver circuits from the antenna connector to the 2nd image rejection mixer for each band, and this improves inband IMD characteristics by simplifying the electronic circuitry. *A triple conversion system is used for the 1200MHz band.
Is the ic-9100 worth it?
The beauty of the IC-9100 is that the receiver performance, even on V and U, is without compromise! And, the 1.2 GHz band was also available as an option, as well as Icom’s popular D-STAR coverage, which opens up a whole new on-air adventure! Coverage and DX performance is a relative thing.
How many memory channels does the ic-9100 have?
Each band (HF/50MHz, 144MHz, 430/440MHz and 1200MHz *) has a total of 99 memory channels for storing frequencies, mode and other information. The IC-9100 has 6 scan edge channels for programmed memory, and a call channel for each band. The IC-9100 has a standard type B USB connector and can be connected to the PC.
What type of connector is used in IC-9100?
The IC-9100 has a standard type B USB connector and can be connected to a PC. Modulation input, audio output, RTTY demodulator output and CI-V command can be controlled via the USB cable. Also, the conventional CI-V remote control jack is built in to the IC-9100. Optional CS-9100 Programming Software.
What is the RS-BA1?
A USB cable is required for PC connection. Optional RS-BA1 IP Remote Control Software. The optional RS-BA1 allows you to use the IC-9100 from another room using your home network, or even from a remote location over the Internet. The RS-BA1 has low voice latency.

What is the IC 9100?
The IC-9100 comes with a built-in 15kHz 1st IF filter and can accept up to two optional filters (3kHz FL-431 and 6kHz FL-430). By changing the first IF filter width according to the operating mode, the desired signal is protected from adjacent inband signals at the later stages. The 3kHz first IF filter is especially effective in the CW and SSB modes.
What is an AGC filter?
Digital IF filters, manual notch filter and other digital functions are incorporated in the AGC loop management control led by the DSP unit. The AGC effectively works for the desired signal and rejects blocking by strong adjacent signals out of the filter passband. The AGC time constant presets (slow, medium and fast) give the flexibility and speed needed for working pile-ups.
What band is the UT-121?
The optional UT-121 provides D-STAR DV mode digital voice and low speed data communications. Linking of D-STAR repeaters over the Internet allows you to communicate virtually anywhere. In addition to 144MHz, 430/440MH and 1200MHz band, the D-STAR DV mode can be used in 28MHz and 50MHz band simplex mode.
What is a digital noise blanker?
The digital noise blanker reduces interference from pulse-type noise such as engine ignition. The noise blanker provides significant reduction of pulse-type noise. The noise blanker allows you to change the threshold level as well as blank duration parameter and attenuation level.
How many receivers does an IC-9100 have?
The IC-9100 has two independent receivers in one radio and receives two different bands simultaneously (See the right table for available main and sub band combinations). In addition, the main and sub-band audio can be controlled with independent volume and squelch knobs, and received audio can be heard separately when external speakers are connected.
