What is the difference between FT-991 and FT 991a?
Simply put, the FT-991a is the upgraded version of the older FT-991 from Yaesu. The FT-991 was created to be an all-band transceiver (MF/HF/VHF/UHF bands) with a digital screen. The FT-991a retains all of this capability as well as the same multi-mode operation and digital modes.
Does the IC-7100 have a built in tuner?
The IC-7100 does not have a built in tuner. It has a jack to connect to a couple of Icom’s tuners and LDG also has an automatic tuner that plugs straight in. When those are connected, there is a button on the IC-7100 to activate the tuners.
Is Yaesu better than ICOM?
Icom portable radios are generally considered easier to use. Yaesu models tend to have a bit of a learning curve, especially if they aren’t COMM only models. But that learning curve does exist and is something that might make a pilot prefer to opt for a radio from Icom.
Does ICOM 7100 have Bluetooth?
BlueCAT is an interface device, which allows you to connect the CIV (Communications Interface-V) port of your ICOM radio, wirelessly, to Bluetooth enabled devices.
When did IC 7100 come out?

Does FT 991A have an antenna tuner?
1. What is this Tuner for? Your FT-991A expects to transmit to a nominal 50 Ohm Antenna – however, this is not always possible. The FT-991A internal antenna tuner tries to match the best combination in its electronic components (capacitors and inductors) to try to bring your radiant system between 16-150 Ohm (max.
Is Yaesu a good brand?

Which is better Yaesu ft-991a or IC-7100?
The FT-991A does not have an SD card slot. Feature implementation. While both radios share a mostly equivalent feature set, the IC-7100 just does a better job. The combination of touch screen commands and physical buttons is better thought out (and laid out) than on the Yaesu. The command set makes more sense.
Is the IC-7300 an automatic antenna tuner?
Both ham radios have an included automatic antenna tuner, which has the capacity of 100-101 channels (the FT-991A and IC-7300 respectively). The tuner also automatically memorizes all the data, making it more convenient. In our tests, tuning is pretty easy with both the FT-991a and the IC-700.
Is there bashing going on for the ft-991a?
There’s no small amount of FT-991A bashing going on. But what makes this discussion odd is that it’s taking place on the ‘Online Swapmeet’ portion of the website, and it’s the guy selling the radio who started the bashing! Heck of a way to make a sale.
