Tom -
After I sold my VHF/UHF/sat equipment in late 1990s, I debated for 10 years about purchasing the IC-910H (never did). I had the IC-756Pro and now the Elecraft K3 for HF and 6 meters .. so the Kenwood TS-2000 was never on my list. I thought the IC-910H it came up a bit short, of what it could be, when I saw it in 2000. Icom never corrected or updated the model (e.g. IC-820 vs IC-821) ... and the IC-9100 is not exactly what I desire, at this point. I even had the TAPR HPSDR for awhile -- which I sold to an Australian radio amateur in 2009. I am sure a few will proclaim that the FlexRadio should be on your list (my long time Elmer has one). IF you decide to sell your Icom IC-821, drop me an e-mail. Greg Beat w9gb BTW, congrats on winning the IC-7000 at the AMSAT-NA Symposium ! == Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2010 17:01:38 -0400 From: K8TB < [email protected] > Subject: [amsat-bb] Rig debate time... To: [email protected] So I have an Icom IC-821 that I am using for the birds, SSB and FM. I don't know what to say, but that rig isn't quite there. So I am trying to decide between a TS-2000 and an IC-910H. I've had a 2000 in the past, and it is a pretty good rig. But I've heard that the 910H is "better", more or less. I have mast mounted SSB preamps to equalize everything out. Anyone on the list own both an IC-910H and a TS-2000, and do you have any thoughts on the use of them for sat use? (I don't really need the low band part of the TS-2000, I have a K3 there). tom bosscher K8TB _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
