Icom IC-905: Unboxing and First Look

[@wonderingworld119]

17:36 "tommy you made a comment about the heat, well this even has a notice about do not touch" everyone kept a straight face, priceless.

[@batfalcononyoutube]

Icom always thinks ahead of time. Wait until non hams discover the potential of transmitting at 128k whatever needed, WITHOUT internet.

Great Documentary Video.Ray Novak rocks 💥💯🎸🎙🎵👍 "iCOM for the Love of HAM Radio" 🙏

I wish those 3 verticals were horizontally polarized slot antennas. Unfortunately they're vertically polarized.

Can't you just turn em 90 degrees?

Great radio, outperforms my Baofeng.

[@ChatGPT1111]

A sponge and spaghetti noodle outperforms Bowfunk.

[@k6usy]

This radio needs a $10k investment to make full use of it.

[@luisruiz-rios3383]

Still waiting for an updated mobile dual bander, ID-5100 is outdated.

[@BobBroeking]

Show us the 100W version of the ICOM 705 for portable SOTA and POTA to compete with the 891!!!!!

[@plemieux84]

No thanks. 10w is plenty.

[@ouijim]

Amazing Radio, got me interested ; ) Thank You

[@ChatGPT1111]

Did you ever get it? I'm waiting on my black friday delivery now.

[@ChatGPT1111]

The only thing missing are the dish antennas for all 4 microwave frequencies to go peak to peak, which is what most hams would actually do.

[@thuff3207]

Interesting very interesting, I like the idea of taking it to a hill top for the rest of us.

[@ManuelPinner]

Someone had to get a bigger sleigh!

[@oz1iom]

Unfortunately, the Icom IC 905 has become far too expensive

[@plemieux84]

I can’t believe the price. Why is it so much more than the 705?

[@kc0itf]

this is meant for the serious ham... just keep playing with your pathetic baofeng

[@k6usy]

@@plemieux84Microwave frequencies at these power levels is not cheap.

[@ChatGPT1111]

Yeah for $350, I would expect those tiny antennas to have packaged hardware 🥴 Does anyone actually buy an omni shf antenna? Bring us parabolics!

Producing a 360P video does not make Icom look like a tech-savvy company.

[@TommyMartin]

It was just published. Check back soon and the higher resolution will be finished rendering by KZbin.

[@XPCTECH]

Using a headshot that looks like you've been drinking at a party is pretty professional.

[@TheBigdutchster]

@@TommyMartin Now it's at 720p and that's still so lame that it needs crutches to stand.

[@ChatGPT1111]

This was actually a 3rd party channel's video that they were authorized to re-use.
