Icom IC-7110 vs. IC-7100: How the Next-Gen Mobile Shack Compares
The legacy Icom IC-7100 has been a staple for mobile and shack-in-a-box operators since its launch over a decade ago. However, the newly unveiled IC-7110 represents a generational shift in RF signal processing, display technology, and remote head ergonomics. Here is how the IC-7110 builds upon—and vastly outperforms—its predecessor.

Specification & Feature Comparison

• Display & UI
  • Icom IC-7110: 4.3" Full-Color Touchscreen with Real-Time Waterfall & Audio Scope
  • Icom IC-7100: Monochrome Slanted Touchscreen (No real-time RF spectrum scope)
• Receive Architecture
  • Icom IC-7110: Dual-Watch Independent Receive Circuits (HF/VHF/UHF & DV)
  • Icom IC-7100: Single Receive / Single VFO Monitoring
• Control Head Ergonomics
  • Icom IC-7110: Slim, flush-mount form factor with built-in speaker, front mic, micro-SD slot, and AMPS / 1/4"-20 mounts
  • Icom IC-7100: Desktop slanted pod (difficult to dash-mount in modern vehicles)
• Wireless Connectivity
  • Icom IC-7110: Built-in Wi-Fi (2.4GHz / 5GHz) & Bluetooth v5.3
  • Icom IC-7100: None (Requires wired accessory modules)
• PC & Mobile Interfaces
  • Icom IC-7110: USB-C, Micro-SD slot, native iOS/Android App picture & D-STAR support
  • Icom IC-7100: USB Type-B, SD Card slot, legacy driver stack
• DSP & Decoding
  • Icom IC-7110: IC-7300MK2 Class CW/RTTY Decoder + Advanced D-STAR Picture Mode
  • Icom IC-7100: Basic DSP Filtering & Standard D-STAR DV Mode

Key Takeaways from the GigaParts Staff

• Vehicle Mounting Solved: The IC-7100’s desktop-slanted control head was notoriously tricky to surface-mount on modern car dashboards. The IC-7110 resolves this with a slim, flat remote head featuring standard AMPS and 1/4"-20 threaded camera sockets for clean, low-profile vehicle integration.
• Real-Time Band Visibility: Moving from a monochrome LCD to the IC-705-style high-resolution color touchscreen gives operators instant band awareness via a live spectrum scope and waterfall—a must-have for contesting and POTA/SOTA deployments.
• True Dual-Watch Operational Capability: Unlike the IC-7100, the IC-7110 incorporates independent receiver circuitry, allowing simultaneous monitoring across HF/VHF, HF/UHF, or digital DV channels without missing localized repeater calls while working HF DX.

Availability & Release Information

Unveiling happened at the Tokyo Ham Fair on August 29th, but official announcements regarding availability, retail pricing, and shipping schedules have not yet been released.

DV-mode App

• RS-MS3A (Android) and RS-MS3i (iOS)
• The RS-MS3 apps are designed to expand the DV mode capability of D-STAR transceivers, like the IC-7110, using Terminal or Access Point mode. These modes allow a D-STAR transceiver to communicate with the D-STAR network over the internet when the transceiver is out of range of a D-STAR repeater. 

Imaging App

• ST-4001A (Android) and ST-4001i (iOS)
• The ST-4001 apps allow the user to crop an image on an Android or iOS device and transfer it to the transceiver over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi so it can be shared over D-STAR. Text, like a call sign, can also be added to the image using the app.
