Icom IC-9700 a quick look as I familiarise myself with the radio functions.

Very nicely done! Thanks & 73 AC5H.

Needs a lighted face on the radio

Dear , Can we modify the VHF freq bellow then 144 MHZ? I found standard frequency is 144 above. 73 (JZ18AKG)

Thanks Gaz Lab for this video. I am now going ahead and buying a 9700 tomorrow morning. Yes, we need more operators using 2m - I totally agree. Cheers & thanks. Mark, VK2FHSV NSW Australia 73's.

Aye shame about air/maritime rx although like most that own one I have a fm rig for those

VERY GOOD

Hi gaz is the USA mod something your shop can do upon purchase of this radio ? Many thanks

...am I right in saying it won't display channel names, only frequency? Thank you.

Wish they could all be SO-239. Coax doesn’t usually come with N connectors.

mine just here today. comments in a week or so. So far my only comment with that bright display, I wish they would have back lit the front buttons. I know it's both base & mobile, but a little larger like the 746

Can we configure 400 MHz and above frequency in this transceiver or it works form 144 to 148 and 430 Mhz to 450 Mhz

Hi Gary, i wonder if the SO239 is an easy swap out just like the 7100 ? Not soldered in just rests on a little spring loaded clamp. Like you say strange they just didn't have all 3 as N Type.

You can remove two diodes to get 144 to 148 & 430 to 450, makes it USA spec.
Better than nothing 👍😎🤟👀
