- After buying the Icom 7610 & 7300, I though it only right, that I should have the full complement of SDR radios. The 9700 is a typical high standard radio with all the functions you would expect from an Icom radio. With true Icom fashion, the radio has almost identical menus to the 7610 and 7300, so anyone lucky enough to own a 7610 or 7300 will have this bad boy up and running in minutes. The radio has fantastic receive on 2/70. I have only just made a 23cm ¼ wave aerial, so can’t comment on that side of the radio. I used the Icom CPS software, and loaded the full worldwide D-Star repeater database in minutes, plus all of the UK 2/70 repeaters. It’s a true joy to use.

- My first visit to moonraker I bought the 9700 about a month ago, fantastic piece of kit looks great next to my 7300, not done anything on 23cms yet but pleased with the performance on 2 and 70. Found the staff at moonraker professional, helpful and friendly, I’ll be visiting again shortly for some matching speakers.
