I would like to know if i can connect this to my icom ic9100 ham radio?

Yes. It connects to "Data 1" through an Icom OPC-1529R cable. Check out page 121 of the Icom IC-9100 manual for more details.

Is this the same unit as a garmin gps 18x lvc, 5m

The -5m stands for a 5 meter cable. I have the -5m so I don't know how long the standard cable length is.

Will this work with a kenwood tm-d710g ham radio using the supplied cable? cable has 3 wires, data in, data out, and ground.

The LVC uses 4 wires, 1 dcd, 2 rx , 3 tx, 5 G. If you don't require the pps signal, rransmitted on pin 1 dcd, and the interface is serial level, then it will work. The only really grear thing about the LVC is the pps signal. Otherwise, many gps receivers can do the job.

Can you provide instructions on how to use/wire this with an icom ic-7100 (i saw the response for the 9100 but not sure if it will work for the 7100).

Since the guy who makes the unit that is sold on eBay for both the 9100 and 7100 sells it for both radios with the same hook-up, I would say yes... if it works for the 9100 it will work for the 7100. If you can't find it in the 7100 manual, the instructions in the 9100 should work exactly the same. It will work for the 9700 too but you have to have a different din plug to power it from the radio. I just put Anderson power poles on the power leads and power it from my main 12vDC power panel.
