Icom ID-5100 Mars Modification

[@HamShackTV]

I need to do this to mine

[@soulstudioshamradio]

@@HamShackTV yeah fairly easy, I would say the flux helped

[@HamShackTV]

@@soulstudioshamradio I’m just not well trained enough in soldering

[@soulstudioshamradio]

Some people just pry it off the circuit board lol it's so small, there's two of them because the 5100 is a dual transceiver

[@Tyguy266]

G90 or 5100a?

[@soulstudioshamradio]

@@Tyguy266 icom 5100 and this was the United States version

[@Tyguy266]

@soulstudioshamradio sorry I ment what one would you order for your first radio? I'm currently in the course and want to start off right. I did order the g90 but alot of people love the 5100

[@soulstudioshamradio]

@@Tyguy266 It depends what you want to do the g90 is for HF the 5100 is VHF UHF and DStar.. If you buy both of them you will be set but for my first radio I would invest in an icom 7100 it does everything

@soulstudioshamradio oh right I forgot about the 7100, thank you. I might have to grab it lol
