IC-7100
This is a fantastic radio for the modern ham! I recently acquired one to replace several other band specific radios in an attempt to clean up my shacks wire problem.
Mostly using it for FM, SSB and D-Star modes.
AF/IF over USB
I also experiment with it’s AF/IF over USB.
- I can RX/TX WSPR using WSJT-X without the need for a RIGblaster or lots of cables.
- USB AF/IF output can go right into GQRX as a sound card.
- Allows me to enable UDP out in GQRX so I can pipe raw audio into DSD or multimon-ng.
- Provides waterfalls for spectrum analysis in GQRX. I used this for IC-E208 Calibration recently.

Hamlib
I can control my IC-7100 automatically on a scheduled basis using a crontab entry in Linux. This all works over a single USB cable.

Logging all the things
I have my IC-7100 record various activities and that was a main selling point the logging feature. Below is a list of a few repositories I update with data extracted from my IC-7100:
