That is a magnificent-looking radio. I might have missed it somewhere but can it operate like an FT-1X as a QRP head unit? I assume not but just wondered if icom were going after Yaesu with the 7110?
Owning a 705 and an 891/ATAS already I dunno if I’d go for the 7110 just yet but it does look absolutely stupendous. If it can operate as a Field/Optima then that is a totally different proposition.
Edit: Seems like it doesn’t work like an FT-1X with a separate body. Still a lovely looking well-specced radio.
Plus kudos to icom who appear to actually understand that people want all mode. That new Kenwood tri band might be full duplex, but to charge 1200 quid for an HT with an amp and not have it to be all mode is scandalous imho.
No, it’s just a control unit. It would be interesting if the communication with the RF unit was over IP, like the 7760, but very unlikely due to market segmentation.
It’s more useful for POTA/WWFF-ops etc, who are allowed to operate from the car or easy walk-on summits. But nevertheless a nice radio which covers all bands.
What I found fun is that the CW-decoder can decode Wabun. Now I have to brush up my very limited Japanese again, hi.
