That’s so strange these videos are years old but I still needed it today.. I just purchased a 9700 to replace my 991 alpha and your video really helped me out.

[@HamRadioConcepts]

That's all I'm here for. Thanks so much

[@JayB-dk6ge]

I know these videos are several years old but they are still very much relevant. Just purchased a 9700 and it's amazing at the capabilities it has. As someone that does not have lots of free time right now to sit and figure a lot of the more involved aspects of the radio, your videos have been a huge help. Thank you very much Eric for all your effort. Keep up the good work. 73' Jason

Thanks for helping discover the features of my IC 9700 de WX4LEC

[@simonjohn6108]

Wow! Thanks for this. Just got my 9700 and now have a much more useful waterfall.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Can't wait to see you run this on some satellites. I'm not a buyer for the 9700, but I know alot of you are going to get it up on a good satellite antenna and really work it.

[@HamRadioConcepts]

I think i finally have an automatic pi-controlled AZ-EL tracker if he hasn't sold it yet.

Just bought “the twins” last week. Thanks for all the much needed demos. 73 de KI1Y, Melbourne FL.

Thanks! Very good video! Got my IC-9700 yesterday. Still no time to even unbox it due to QRL but going to set up this weekend with the help of this vid. Well done! 73 PE2AAB

[@carpman4767]

I just bought the IC7300 and haven't powered it up yet. Many things to learn about it and I can only listen until I take the technician test to Grandfather to general. My license expired well over a decade ago and the low band rigs I had were Healthkit..I can't wait until I get licensed agn. The radio in this video is very cool and I think it would look great setting next to the IC7300. Next year maybe. I'm very limited in space outside and just having a vertical for 20,15,and 10, and trapped inverted V for 40 and 80 is about it for now... I plan to take down a 3 element yagi for 10,15, and 20 and the tower sometime this late summer or fall from a house down state from me. So I will have that too.

Thanks

Nice video, thanks. I just bought the 9700 and the 9300 and am watching a bunch of videos. Very helpful of you. 2E0VZZ

[@theheavyweight2008]

I’m so nervous and excited. This is the radio I want but…I have to pass my technician exam tomorrow! Yeah, I know, newbie

[@theheavyweight2008]

Yay! Passed the tech exam on 7/19! Waiting for the processing 😊

[@jeffreyblackman5430]

Thanks so much! You helped me tremendously!

[@jptucsonaz8503]

Very nice, Eric! Could you please show us some 23cm ops... Of course that band varies quite wildly in different areas due to population, how many hams have equipment, # of repeaters if any, etc. Also a review of 23 cm antennas would be in order... : -) 73 John

[@mikeklemens8970]

That ic9700 what a beauty! Mike N6IMY

[@macexpert7247]

Excellent, THANKS!

[@mattuk8749]

Very good video, I have the R8600... the same applies here thanks :-)

[@debohannan4315]

Thanks Eric this was good , the manual is confusing. I'm sure I will like this 9700 better than my 991 .and looking forward to seeing more from you. Keep up the great work kc5ulu

[@espeditorizzuti8432]

Many thanks

[@davep6977]

as per your comment. The 910H doesn't have much of anything of band scope. It's the S meter with segments that go up and down. No color, no waterfall. If you see a "peak" your have to dial to it quickly. The term scope is very generously used

[@smokintoaster]

Great Job!! 73...de NF4J

[@glennpritchard274]

Thumbs up on this one, VA7UO.

[@JA-fy1bn]

Eric, I sat in front of my 9700 and went step by step with you making the adjustments to suit my taste. The one thing I was waiting for and you didn't cover was the fixed band edges and the best way to set them up. Any thoughts or ideas on this? Thanks for all of the great videos.

[@kevinokeefe7796]

I just got mine .im loveing it accept for the fact I can’t put 2m mad 440 in the same memory back to scan. I really don’t understand why it can’t.

[@johnratcliffe6438]

I bought an IC9700 a few weeks ago and have started to use it over the last few days. It's my first rig and I love it. The only 'issue' so far is that the dimple in the tuning dial is too small for my finger! The sides are too steep and it's not a comfortable fit. Sad Panda! 😭

[@chadlpnemt]

How does the receive compare to something like a kenwood ts 2000 on FM? In terms of simplex operation.

[@algonacwaterdepartment6415]

will the 9700 crossband repeat ???? vhf uhf?

[@Joe_HamRadioGuy]

Im sorry but you had me laughing when you slowed that waterfall down to almost a halt lmao

[@richardlennon1245]

How can you see dual frequency at the same time .

[@christerpstra6032]

Tnx, very helpful. 73' PAØTVI

[@VK9TOM]

Does it drift off frequency 73 Tom vk3ftom

[@guardianobserver6593]

Please someone explain to me! What you hear?
