Icom 7100 Voice TX Keyer, Feature Demonstration

[@sporty05]

Eric thank you for all of the recent 7100 videos. In my opinion this radio is very underrated. I think initially people were put off by its form factor, but if you spend time with one it really is a great package. I love mine and am still learning about all of the features over a year later. I got mine at a great sale price and have no regrets! 73! K3DBI

Thank you! Finally a vid that goes into details and cool features of the radio. Please do vids on: filters. modem (sound card), build in antenna analyzer and D-Star on HF.

You can also use the buttons on the mic as a cw keyer.

ProTip: I just learned that if you have speakers plugged in and want sound I undo both, flip the switch on the bottom of the head from SP to PHONES and it comes out both (not stereo, but just plays through both).

[@MacsForever1]

Here’s a pro tip for you if you are recording everything with the QSO recorder, you have to turn off the recording in order for the voice recording to appear.

I would like there to be an option which will allow for a 1 min interval. For my plans a 15 second interval is too often, anyway thank you for the great tutorial video.

Your voice on playback reminds me of the sound of one of my friends Collin AAØCN, you almost sound exactly like him, at least through the radio.

Thanks for the video looks easy to set up the voice keyed. I've had my 7100 in the mobile forv3 years and never set it up.73 VE3TMG

This doesn't work for me for some reason. I can setup the slot, record the audio, play it back, assign a name to the slot, etc - but when I try to actually use the slot and transmit over the air, the radio beeps 1 time and nothing happens. Long pressing the slot doesn't do anything.

Your great videos help a lot, keep it coming. Thank You ko4ksv

@hamradioconcepts Hey Eric, do you remember how long it took to format your SD card before you could record with it? I am getting my set up right now to go activate a few parks for POTA tomorrow, and it feels like it has been "formatting" for a half hour already!

[@Apostolos_Androutsos]

Hello my friend, I would like to ask if you are happy with the purchase of this transceiver and if in the time you have it you are facing an issue ... for example it is heating up? is this what you were waiting for? Thanks in advance...73's SV4IMN

[@jimbrown4135]

While the radio is transmitting a voice keyer recording the only way I see to stop it is to press the memory location again. On my Yaesu it will stop transmitting the recording if I press the PTT or the memory location. Is that the way it is?

[@williethepimp]

Jim did you find out? I'm considering the FT991A if it won't behave like this.

[@williethepimp]

Has anyone else had a problem getting it to repeat? I can record and TX but not repeat, no matter what interval I set.

[@AUCTIONCAT2011]

Can you listen to ssb on 11m

[@Sam-w9des]

witch u like better this radio or the 7300 or the 991? its a tuff choice but if just one witch one as I do like the 7100 as an all n one type

[@ronknight3417]

i dont have a 7300 but i do have a ft991 and a 7100 doug not much to between them but i think the 7100 just has the edge do we need a waterfall well no thats what the vfo is for only my opinion though doug

[@chrisn9140]

are you getting full SSB power on 7100 ? have you performed the jumper modification as noted here in www.lb3hc.net/archives/2719

[@Goyotero1000]

What bands does D-Star work on? I imagine VHF and UHF only?

[@HamRadioConcepts]

All bands 160m-40cm

[@Goyotero1000]

@@HamRadioConcepts -Dstar page as DV mode has crystal clear voice. This works on HF?

[@Goyotero1000]

@@HamRadioConcepts " "IC-7100 base/mobile transceivers provide D-STAR (Digital Smart Technology for Amateur Radio) and DV (Digital Voice) mode and low speed data communication on the 2 meter and 70 centimeter bands." OK thought It may do 10 meter digital like 991 A, but seems 2M is lowest band for d-star.
