Title: Icom IC-7100 Control Panels Now Available Separately
Post by: dj0qn on 2014-03-10, 20:47:40

Note that the control panels for the Icom IC-7100 are now available separately. This means that you
can have multiple users for RemoteRig radio sites using these hardware control panels.

Difona now has them in stock at 299€ and I assume that other dealers can get these from Icom as well.

Thanks for the heads up Mitch.

Is there a product ID for the seperate fronts?

Hi Paul,
I assume so, but I don't know what it is. I was at Difona's stand at the Munich
Amateurfunktagung this past weekend and was informed directly.

I enquired at Difona, but unfortunately price has increased to €375 (+15 shipping on top).

Sticking to a multi client TS-480 setup for now.

That was probably a "new" special price when the product became available. That was over seven weeks ago.

If I get a chance, I will see what is going on.

They said Icom had decided to raise the price of the ctrl head.
(while the IC-7100 itself comes down in price ;-)

Well, still totally love my TS-480/Remoterig combo's.
Unbeatable robust combination.
