This transceiver is the best package at a very reasonable price - go get one you won't be disappointed and you'll just fall in love with what SDR can do. BTW it's on the front page of the Sherwood listing. Great job Icom.
Nice one Paul, it has very effective NR. I like how you optimise your Gain for very strong signals and weak ones by controlling the RF Gain knob. That's the secret of this fine radio When receiving on CW, try the audio scope next time you will see the CW on the scope! I think the audio out of this little radio is magnificent! I'm definitely keeping mine in my shack. Regards, Les, VK3TEX.
I have the IC 7300 (purchased at HAM Radio 2016) in my shag and love it...gives alot for resonable money...Since the Kenwood TS-590SG and others are just relaxing :-) However the reception of the TS-590 SG is far better.
For some reason I just cant seem to get past this rig. It seems that based on cost and overall function the 991a makes more sense, but this radio is an amazing piece
Buenas amigo,para montar una icom igual,que antena me recomiendas?ando perdido,vengo de handys cb27 y vhf/uhf pero esto es otro mundo,mil gracias amigo....lo que mas toco es cb27,vhf-uhf,y cuando solo hago RX en handa aerea y aviacion,sabiendo esto?algo compatible?graacias amigo 73
I was listening to a long wave station on 198 and the signal sounded a bit weak, then I noticed a setting that is switched on by default. I think its called MW attenuation. Switch that off and even long wave was a pleasure to listen to. Lovely rich sound from it.
Just got this radio few days ago and few days after that last Saturday got my general ticket upgrade, getting everything I need to get on the air. planning using a multi band HyEndFed Antenna but I wondering which is the best antenna that this radio would work with. I want to use it at home and also on the field. I am putting together a go box with a Pelican case 1510 where everything fits nicely. I don't know how to hide the expenses from the wife! .73 from Rody, KI7CSI
LOL you have to make a deal with your wife, something for something, like I did :-D I said her that when I buy a new living room furniture (for her) so I will buy a new radio (for me) :-) Fifty/fifty ;-) The Icom 7300 is an excellent rig, I am sure that you will be a happy owner ;-) Enjoy your licence and this beautiful hobby! 73 Paul OM0ET
robert fleming yes, you can buy three 7300’s for the cost of the 7610. Then maybe go with a 101D after a few years when the price really drops. Especially on great used ones. Just a thought. I bought a 7300 new, then I was really upset with the QRM coming through the speaker because it really does not have great noise reduction compared to the Yaesu FTDX 3000 which is just a few hundred more and I can guarantee you you, you’ll hear better DX and much less noise. The difference for me was making a QSO To Hawaii on the 7300 but no further and then getting Australia in the Philippines with the FTDX 3000. Both of coarse at 100 W, but, the 3000 simply can “hear farther.“ I was so impressed with the FTDX 3000 that I sold a used unit I had purchased, made a small profit, then went and purchased one brand new in the box so I could get a three-year warranty as well. It’s just a phenomenal radio compared to the 7300. I’m not saying that the 7300 is garbage. It was an amazing radio for the price and had a lot of “I candy” to it. But the name of the game is busting through pile ups and hearing farther to get better QSO’s! In that matter, the Yaesu won every time.
Hello Tom. I use a home made speaker. The wood body of the speaker is from a cheap commercial subwoofer rebuild to an speaker with a new repro inside 😉👍 and sounds good for me 😊 73
You sure make the tiny (physically) 7300 look like a big radio in this video. I just got mine yesterday and after watching a lot of videos in advance I was a little shocked at how small it is. I wish it was twice as big. I wish it was as big as it looks in this video :)
RMDR is different between both radios. IC7600 = 80dB IC7300 = 100dB IC7610 = 110dB more dB = better receiver selectivity nearby strong signal see here: th-cam.com/video/ogoj1Dz4y9Y/w-d-xo.html
Hello Prabir, here is figured my antenna HEX Beam: th-cam.com/video/uSewDuww67Q/w-d-xo.html It's a 6-bander (20-6M) with 2 elements on each band. On 40M is just for RX. ;-) Is located in 35m high above the ground level. 73
It's hard to say, because I had the receiver borrowed at home for only a short time. There are a few modes for waterfall and speed. Also was possible to set attenuation indenpendly on RX. It's very nice transceiver.

Great job Icom.
I hear Lou nearly every night on my hf receiver.
LOU THE LEGEND🤘
I first heard Lou in 1982 using a Lowe srx 30 receiver, if since worked him on 80 40 and 20m big signal
very nice sounding ! Thanks for sharing
Dan
D K thank you Dan! ;-)
Thanks, clear, concise, practical, without doubts is my next tranceiver. 73
I wish you had it as soon as possible Rudy! I am sure you will be happy with 7300. Paul, 73

Thank you very much Les. RF scope is very helpful in this radio and audio was recorded from my homemade external speaker btw. :-) 73
Looks like a great radio. Thanks for the video.
Nice demonstration video, Paul.. You have a great set, but also a nice camera !,.. 73s, Pedro.
Thank you Pedro! ;-)

Bonjour, je voudrais brancher mon Micro D104 Astatic sur mon Icom 7300? Je ne sais pas si c’est possible???
Cool radio.. I am owner of an 1996 Icom 737.. it still does his job 😎 73 de HB3XUT

Nice! Thank you for tip ... i've not seen this feature....btw, this time i do not have this radio anymore ... Was not mine,was just borrowed. :-(
hi Mark, where you seen this MW attenuation? I own mine for about 2 Years, but i dont seen this function.

Very Nice radio and a good price
ive been saving for the ic-7610 but after hearing about problems about them i am probably going with the 7300
The FTDX 101D is also very good rig. 😉👍 73, Paul

Выбирал какой аппарат приобрести ft-1200 или ic-7300. После этого видео полностью определился. Пошел делать заказ...
Какой все таки аппарат выбрали? и как он вам, спустя 6 месяцев использования?
Не пожалеешь
@@r4paf891 был 7300, теперь 1200 этот больше нравится, он более качественно собран и гораздо надежней. Убедился.
Hi wat have for Speaker
Hello Tom. I use a home made speaker. The wood body of the speaker is from a cheap commercial subwoofer rebuild to an speaker with a new repro inside 😉👍 and sounds good for me 😊 73
Holy crap I literally heard EA3JE from Barcelona working on 40m last night. And here he is on some random yt video.
😄😄 yeah he still very strong in Europe and he work stations which I even not hear in on my antenna! 🤪
@@OM0ET lol he’s on right now as I’m typing this!
@@smoothvirus 😄

Got mine a few days ago and I think it's size is perfect. Sits easily on top of my old FTOne
What antenna are you using?
It was a wire dipole antenna ;-)
I have ic 7300 great radio, one problem i have interference i cant locate
Is the IC-7300 better then the IC-7600?
RMDR is different between both radios.
IC7600 = 80dB
IC7300 = 100dB
IC7610 = 110dB
more dB = better receiver selectivity nearby strong signal

Please share the Antenna details too
Hello Prabir, here is figured my antenna HEX Beam: th-cam.com/video/uSewDuww67Q/w-d-xo.html

Excellent work what are your waterfall / scope settings.?
It's hard to say, because I had the receiver borrowed at home for only a short time. There are a few modes for waterfall and speed. Also was possible to set attenuation indenpendly on RX. It's very nice transceiver.
fine business OM
Ea3je I hear him all the time on the bands ,have worked him before
Yes he is very strong all the time :)
Please show how dnr works
Hi, look at 1:30 there it is showed in SSB and here 13:53 is in CW mode. 73 ;-)
every video on ham radio people just can't quit pushing buttons. tune it in and leave it alone.
Wish your audio was louder. Can barely hear anything.
Dennis Thrush i have to made direct audio line-in connection from radio to my cellphone camera. I am sorry about that. 73
Great video but the noise reduction part was totally annoying
The flashy waterfall doesn't do much for me
Stop playing with the sodding buttonz.
Перевести на русский.
Half the time I haven't a clue WHAT you are doing, or why. Not too helpful, I'll admit.
What type of antenna are you using?
It's the EndFed long wire antenna 45m long with an external MFJ993BRT autotuner.
