I know everyone is gaga over color screens and waterfall displays these days, but I love my 7410. The screen is clear, bright and has just the right amount of info on it without being cluttered. The receiver is very sensitive and the TX audio can be adjusted six ways to Sunday using the tone controls and compressor. CW features are excellent and easily tailored to your preferences. The other thing I love about the 7410 is that it doesn't force me to get into menus and search through hundreds of settings. There IS a set menu, but it's more for one-time or infrequent changes that you typically do when you set up the radio initially. After that, everything you need is a button or a knob on the front panel, or a short on-screen menu and a handful of choices. With this radio, you can focus on operating and not menu scrolling and hunting. And since everyone is going for waterfalls and color screens, you can pick up a used 7410 way under $1,000. Get one and you won't be disappointed.
Superbly designed documentation that is very easy to understand and to work out by yourself the large variety of features the ICOM-IC7410 has to offer. It is most definitely not boring and attracts you if you are the lucky owner of this transceiver to follow the instructions step by step by watching the documentation. Thank you and well done!
It never ceases to amaze me why such quality videos such as this one get the thumbs down from people. This tutorial is absolutely brilliant, it shows you how to use this radio in a clear and concise way. The finals have just blown on my 7800 and I need a spare radio, this tutorial is enough to sell me the radio.
Charles you gave a great presentation on the icom 7410 everything you're saying about this rig is true I owned two of them you make it so simple what a great radio thank you so much my friend
I am late to the party, but I want one. I learned so much about those dials that I never really understood. I have been out of the hobby for a few years. Thanks for the presentation and instruction. VK7LDH.
Nice video brochure. I wonder if icom changed the way they handle cooling? Icoms of the past would not engage the cooling fan until you keyed the radio. If the radio had been monitoring for several ours and then finally keyed, the fan would go to to hyper drive to cool it down! This happens on the Ic 7600 and the pro series and Ic 7000. Kenwood and Yaesu and Elecraft fans come on even if not keyed when it reaches a certain temp.
ham is dead here in my location.use to be 20 or more locals on all the time..just me now..au needs to rid of licenses so more can come onboard. ..or maybe that wont work either as everyone is on computer nowdays.
The IC-746 Pro, which the IC-7410 replaced, had overheating problems. This rig has a larger cabinet to accommodate a much larger heat sink which eliminated the overheating problem.
combatwombat71 It's not true. The IC-7410 will overheat on full duty cycle. I just bought the radio last week, and I overheated it on RTTY at 100 watts. Took about 8 hours in a contest setting, but it did go into protection mode and took about 15 minutes to cool down and I had to reset the transceiver. The manual suggest that you should not use more than 75 watts for RTTY. Also, 100 watts CW will kick the fan on full speed most times.
I have the ic-7410, and yes, it's going to hell hot when you doing some psk qso on 50W power level....It can heating up itself even on receiving too... Typical icom situation. I have the ic-7200 too, same problem when you TX for longer period its going to burning itself. I have an IC-2730 and it can heating up itself during RX.... So it's seems like icom has a very very serious problem with designing a proper cooling system for its own radios...
+Kevin Elliott Can you tell ppl about all that info by memory? Of course he's reading a script. But this is a review because you can hear the result of using the filters and adjustments in the rx. That is not scripted.

This is one GREAT RADIO, don't worry about having a color screen. This radio is great on receive and transmit

very good video. excellent clear picture on full screen, nice radio too.
Great job George, Leroy, WD9HOT
Great job explaining things. I found it odd that the connectors in the back were not labeled.
Thank you!

its a sorta like the 7600 even does rtty decode on the screen great radio 7300 does not do rtty decode but has nice waterfall display
Parabéns equipamento muito bonito, faria muito sucesso comigo e seria de grande uso aqui no Brasil.
Excellent review! One of the best I've seen. Have you ever done a review on the IC-7000? 73, Frank, WA3RSL

Hey Steve
Excellent video. Thank you!

Can you lock the antenna so it behaves as RX only?
LOL love the 80m activity :)
which roofing filter to install? 6KHz or 3KHz ? which is best ?
Is Icoms customer service as good as Elecrafts or Tentec?
fantastic video. just bot this radio...
This looks a lot like the IC 9100 which I have, except mine does vhf/uhf and D star...73 Fred in G land.g4vvq

Nice video but is it true that this radio has overheating issues?
I hear the opposite... the Icom specification fact that it can run 100% duty cycle at full 100W power. Not many radios can claim that.
The IC-746 Pro, which the IC-7410 replaced, had overheating problems. This rig has a larger cabinet to accommodate a much larger heat sink which eliminated the overheating problem.

I won't call this a review since it is obvious this is an advertisement scripted by George sounds like he is reading from a script from Icom.
