Our technician tested this unit and found that it works fantastically at full output! Please be aware that you must switch on the power supply from the back panel before powering on the unit with the front panel power button. The front panel is in very nice shape! Please see the photos below for more details. The cabinet shows some very small scuffs / scratches in a few places but is pretty clean overall. This unit is in good condition overall for its age showing only some wear. You can read all about this radio by clicking here.

This Icom IC-7800, serial number 0201125, is an advanced 200 watt transceiver covering the HF and 6 meter bands. As already mentioned, if you only need HF and VHF/UHF is not in the picture, the Icom 7300 is a $2,500 class HF radio that costs less than $1,100 these days.Icom IC-7800 HF + 6 Meter 200 Watt Transceiver Good Condition w/ HM-36 Hand Mic. So far I'm really happy every time I use the 7100 and it hasn't done anything to annoy me yet.įinal comment, for a shack in the box type radio with HF plus VHF/UHF I don't think you can beat the 7100 for its price and I think it will outperform some radios costing a bit more. I should also mention I'm not a casual radio user and usually operate higher end contest type radios and easily get annoyed with mediocre performing equipment. Next month my second 7100 will be planted near Boston with a similar setup. Its working great both on HF and VHF/UHF and nobody can tell its being remote controlled. The 7100 does not have a tuner but the LDG IT-100 is a perfect match and pushing the tune button on the radio starts the tuning cycle just like an internal tuner would inside the radio.įast forward a few months and one 7100 control head is sitting in front of me in So Cal running right now with the rest of the radio sitting near Dallas, TX into an end fed HF antenna and a clone of a Comet GP-9. I liked the 7100 so much I bought a second and if the Icom 706MKIIG in my truck breaks soon I'll buy another 7100 for the truck. With sales and rebates I ended up paying about $749 which is a bargain. I also did some research and even though its not on Rob Sherwoods receiver list it has a very good receiver, not contest quality but better than just about anything in its price class. I ran the radio at home for a few months and love it. After that, I don't want to operate with full power. I have replaced both faulty final SD-2931. The output RF power at that moment was 200W and continuously running for more than 3 hours. Problem: My IC-7800 final MOSFET was blown off during DX QSO last year. I bought an Icom 7100 only on the recommendation it was the favorite for use with the RemoteRig boxes which I plan on using with it. ICOM IC-7800 Repairing work - November 2014.

I had two remote controlled radios in different states and needed to upgrade them.
