I have a 910, a friend has an 847. We typically use both at Field Day.
I think the 910 is a better satellite radio.
Good luck!

Icom is coming out with a new hf/sat rig the IC-9100. It looks to be a bit
pricy at around $3000 or so, but it will be newer technology. I sold my 910
to make room for one on my desk :) I did keep my trusty 14 year old 847 I
purchased new. I would recommend the 847 over the 910, and if you have
, and Flex
Radio.

At long last, the IC-9100 received FCC approval last week, so it may finally
be hitting the market. I talked to an ICOM rep at the Orlando hamfest on
Saturday, and she said they still do not have
The 847 and I have covered many a mile. It's a workhorse great on the birds
and okay on HF.
