Jim, I always ask that question. Depending on who you talk with, you get slightly different versions of the same answer. The FT-847 went out of production due parts availability. Like many here, they equate satellite with P3 HEO, and feel that until that happens, there is no justification for the additional engineering work to bring out an updated version. I have been told there is a notional design for one. Others have gotten different versions. Will ask again.

If anybody is going to Dayton this year, PLEASE ask them. Unless they keep getting questions about it, they won't know there's a market for it. 73, Jim KQ6EA May 13, 2011 09:18:58 AM, [email protected] wrote: Unless the IC-9100 comes down in price about $2,000, I don't care if it will work with SATPC32. I am not getting rid of my IC-910's unless someone drops an IC-9100 in my lap. 73, Dee, NB2F -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan P.

According to the explanation, this version will not work with the IC-910, though a full version is on the way.
