This isn't QBC either; it's too simple (it's not clear or straightforward).😂At least, could you please explain the differences between these machines?
If you're not adding a separate VFO and amplifier, the standard for choosing an EME machine should be 【the largest possible power in the 144/432 MHz band】and 【good receiving performance】. The former excludes small QRP machines like the FT-818 and IC-705, while the latter excludes UV band shortwave radios like the FT-857 and IC-7000, which are more of a waste of time. Since EME operations typically don't prioritize speed and are mostly done through software, the requirements for machine control and spectrum performance are relatively low. As for the requirements regarding the shortwave band, the 1.2 GHz band, and portability... it all depends on how you use the machine.
Remaining machines and key parameters (maximum power: 144MHz/432MHz):
IC-9700 (SDR, 100/75W, no shortwave, 1.2 GHz standard, 4.7 kg)
IC-9100 (Traditional architecture, 100/75W, with shortwave, optional 1.2 GHz, 11 kg)
IC-910H (Traditional architecture, 100/75W, no shortwave, optional 1.2 GHz, 4.5 kg)
FT-991A (Traditional architecture with spectrum, 50/50W, includes shortwave, does not include 1.2 GHz, 4.3 kg)
FT-847 (Traditional architecture, 50/50W, with shortwave, no 1.2 GHz, 7 kg)
TS-2000 (Traditional architecture, 100/50W, with shortwave, optional 1.2GHz, 7.8kg)
The main reason to recommend the 9700 is that it comes with a warranty, has an approved code, and offers good value for money (if you're looking for a low-cost option, I recommend the 910H). For EME applications, a fully compliant 910H and 9700 offer virtually identical performance, and the 910H is even more affordable, with a price that's 40% lower.
