i always get more out of longer, in depth reviews like this one. most TH-cam overviews point to a switch and tell us what it does... this vid' actually shows us. very helpful.. tnx!
I also have ordered, and am awaiting arrival of my new 7300. Super excited about getting it in the shack! The features seem a bit overhwelming, but nothing that I can’t figure out. Thanks for the explanations. I’m sure I will be back to watch again, as I work my way through the radio!
Love the video. I've been debating what to buy and this was very much like going to the store to try one out (6 hours away to nearest one, so that's helpful). Organized and thorough yet concise enough to keep our attention.
Great video is there any chance that you could do a video on how to set the 7300 up for the not so quick to learn there are a lot of videos out there but they are all mixed up can you do one showing all the settings and how to set them up slowly please.
Thank you so much! This tour of the rig was extremely helpful. One question: When using the IC-7300 as a base station, I'd like to run the audio into my recording studio setup, either through my audio desk or through my audio interface. What do you suggest as the best way to do so? Should I merely use the analog external speaker connection, the ACC, the USB output into my computer then out to the interface? Any wisdom you could impart would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I’m picking one up tomorrow, I was wondering how it performs on the shortwave bands as a general coverage receiver? Thanks for the demo.. It’s a nice radio for the den.
Hi Jason, Many thanks for the question. The SD card can be used for several purposes such as saving the radio's configuration. This is useful should you have the radio set up for a specific function - such as data modes, where the audio paths are configured in a specific way, and levels are set to particular levels. It can take some time to configure the radio to get it to work the way you want, and by storing these settings on the SD card, then they can easily be recalled if you ever have to reset the radio for whatever reason. Another uses of the SD card can be to save your memory channel contents, save your transmitted and received audio, save the communication and receive history log, voice audio for the Voice TX function, the RTTY decode log, the transmitted or received RTTY decode history, screen captures... The list goes on and on! You also use the SD to update the firmware of the radio. I hope this helps, but if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. Cheers, Steve (G0TAN / W6TAN).
I have a question for you. I have just got the 7300 and I noticed that sometimes on the display I see a faint red word that tends to flicker on and off not all the time but sometimes. It shows up flickering faintly on the meter screen at the top of the screen between the Fil2 box and the SD card icon. It is very faint and it reads either QVF or OVF, Like I said this doesn't happen all the time and just comes and goes on various bands. I can't find anything in the manual on this. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks! Reply
Hi Jeff, Many thanks for the question... Sorry to say that this radio is only HF + 6m + 4m. If you want an Icom which covers 2m & & 70cm as well, then you would need to look at the IC-7100 or IC-9100. Alernatively, there's the Yaesu FT-991 (or FT-991A). Please let me know if I can be of more help. 73, Steve (G0TAN / W6TAN).
I have a icom 9100 for sale, covers pretty much everything.. excellent condition. Comes with all optional filters and the dstar module in box not installed.
Hi James, I'm not sure what you mean... Do you mean what is the minimum voltage that the radio will operate on (before it switches off), or what is the minimum voltage that the radio will still provide 100W OP?
OK, I measured the operating voltages on our demo unit, and the nominal voltrage is 13.8 Volts. It still gives full output power (100W) at 13V... After this, the output power drops off as the input voltage is reduced. The radio will work down to about 10.5V, but the power output will only be about 5W. Below 10.5V, the radio will not power up... I''m still not 100% sure if that's what you mean, as you mentioned about if there is a transformer in-line. This is a DC radio, and you should be connecting it to a PSU which supplies 13.8V, at around 20-30A.

The very best 7300 demonstration video I have seen.
i always get more out of longer, in depth reviews like this one. most TH-cam overviews point to a switch and tell us what it does... this vid' actually shows us. very helpful.. tnx!
I just purchased the IC 7300 - your video was fantastic ... very well organized and presented clear and at a slow pace - much appreciated ..
Thank you so much for such a thorough introduction to the 7300. 73. K2MR.
Excellent, I have a 7300 coming and this is by far the best video I have seen on the radio and what it does. Thank you very much! Mike W4DXL.
I’m patiently waiting for my 7300 in the mail. Thank you for the in-depth review. By far the best video I’ve seen.

Really nice job, Steve, I appreciate it. You have sold me on the 7300, thats next for me.
Thanks Greg!

Thanks for your recommendation I am enjoying ICOM 7300 portable right now with lots to learn.
I am planning to order a 7300 this week. Thanks for explaining how to use it. This video was very helpful.
You are very welcome Jeff!
Love the video. I've been debating what to buy and this was very much like going to the store to try one out (6 hours away to nearest one, so that's helpful). Organized and thorough yet concise enough to keep our attention.
Most thorough and understandable review. Many thanks
verry good love the video
Thank you very much!
Very impressive radio! After 5 years, is it still the radio to buy (I don't see anything else similar near it's price-point)?
This is my next RADIO after watching this Thank you.
Guess on the signal meter the design cannot be changed like to an emulated needle? Great informational video :)
Great video is there any chance that you could do a video on how to set the 7300 up for the not so quick to learn there are a lot of videos out there but they are all mixed up can you do one showing all the settings and how to set them up slowly please.
Very nice demo
just rec mine icom 7300 very very happy with it all useful infor good demo
Thanks for the comments David. If you have any questions regarding the operation of the radio, please feel to ask!
Cheers,
Steve.

Good video. Thank you. 73.
And Die Antwoord music in background :-)
Is there away to adj the power output of the radio for side ban and and AM😀
Yes, you use the power control. Fully adjustable from 100W down to 1W.
I know this is an old post but do the 7300's come with an SD card?
The 7300 does not come with a supplied SD Card. You will need a SDHC card no larger than 32gb.
Do you still have the 7300 at home?
Thanks.
Is it possible to connect a keyboard to this radio for rtty communications?
I have one on the way, KG7NPR......
Nice radio, what r some of the purposes for the SD card? 73 kc1ero

+Stephen Venner thanks.
upset now, i want one but only have m3 licence. looks like i will upgrading sooner then i planed, LOL
Hello Poshrat... There's nothing wrong with an M3 licence! Please let me know if I can be of more help...
I have a question for you. I have just got the 7300 and I noticed that sometimes on the display I see a faint red word that tends to flicker on and off not all the time but sometimes.

If it's the OVF light, it means receiver overload. There's a video about it here - th-cam.com/video/dOygcdEcRpE/w-d-xo.html
is there a transverter function on this radio to alter frequencey
Nice radio, but with all its functions it would have been much better & interesting if it could decode CW as a rolling text .
0ActionMonkey0 I agree 1 million percent.. That would have made this radio so much more fun. However you can use a pc to decode it using the radio.
Agreed - Maybe a future firmware release might have this functionality...
0ActionMonkey0 Copying CW is a cherished “people skill, not a machine skill” de W7LD.
thats hilarious :) why not jst learn the code and u wont need CW decoders and PC' programs :)
where do you get the nifty stand cheers
Universal Radio Inc in Ohio sells them.
hallo, i have a question, witch transciver is a better .....ft dx 1200, ft dx 3000 of icom 7300???
They're all good radios, but it depends on your personal requirements as to which is best for you...
Does this transceiver support 2m, 70cm or DStar? Or only high frequency?
Hi Jeff,
Many thanks for the question...
Sorry to say that this radio is only HF + 6m + 4m.
If you want an Icom which covers 2m & & 70cm as well, then you would need to look at the IC-7100 or IC-9100. Alernatively, there's the Yaesu FT-991 (or FT-991A).
Please let me know if I can be of more help.

Only HF
I have a icom 9100 for sale, covers pretty much everything.. excellent condition. Comes with all optional filters and the dstar module in box not installed.
What voltage will it take. I mean it the a tranformer to brnimg down the powr
Hi James, I'm not sure what you mean... Do you mean what is the minimum voltage that the radio will operate on (before it switches off), or what is the minimum voltage that the radio will still provide 100W OP?
The power it need to work. If the is a transfor, in the line, I need the out put VOltage
OK, I measured the operating voltages on our demo unit, and the nominal voltrage is 13.8 Volts.
It still gives full output power (100W) at 13V... After this, the output power drops off as the input voltage is reduced.
The radio will work down to about 10.5V, but the power output will only be about 5W.
Below 10.5V, the radio will not power up...
I''m still not 100% sure if that's what you mean, as you mentioned about if there is a transformer in-line. This is a DC radio, and you should be connecting it to a PSU which supplies 13.8V, at around 20-30A.
Emergency match mode is 10-1!
