Tks for the video 😊. I have a technical question since the radio is made in 2 parts and icom tells that for remote operation you need use rsba1 that it's ok but for top price radio not for me , do you think you can set up a vpn and bring the head of radio with you and use it far away ? To be honest I was expecting something like that for that price 😕
Excellent video and thanks for going through all of the features. Although it would have been nice to hear more of the SSB reception with you tuning around and even plugging in a nice external speaker. After all, radio contacts is what it's all about. You did plenty of CW and beacon stuff. Thanks for the video!
@@johnratcliffe6438 Yes (I have a K4D). Also FTDX101, K3,Flex… Purpose is to reduce effect of QSB, especially on 40m and above provided two distant antennas and different polarization are used. Very efficient for weak signals on these bands.
Great review, great radio that’s beyond the means of any average ham. My 705 portable radio driving a sailor marine amplifier with 4 watts gives more than 200 watts in all ham bands😂
Can you rx on a frequency while transmitting on the same frequency? I mean radio has all the knowledge on transmitted signal and could do mathematical difference between rx and tx signals to just get "clean" outside rx. If receiver won't get overloaded or something like that. The goal: to hear when someone else transmits while you also transmit... Full duplex.
You never touched on mouse control. My Yaesu FT-710 ($850) provides nearly COMPLETE mouse control over almost all functions. The FT-710 responds to both right & left button & scroll commands!! My 7610 & 890S fail in comparison. Thanx for the review.
Great review. It's a good approximation of the new ICOM, and like VK I would have liked to see more RX testing but in CW with a congested band (of course that doesn't always happen). I have a 7610 but I think I'll wait for the new 78xx line. The 7760 is excellent but at the moment it doesn't give me much difference with the 7610 since I have a power amplifier and until it is proven that the RX is better than the 7610 it is not an option for me. Thanks for the impeccable review.
You will more than likely need test equipment to tell the difference between the receivers. Waiting for those Rob to do his review for his Sherwood Report. I don't put much thought into it but it's always funny because the human ears can only process so much. The 7610 has the same features in the 7760 that are important to me. Diversity Receive and Adaptive Predistortion.
@@kc8tyk86 Totally agree. But I always look forward to Sherwood's tests. Although that is not the whole story. The receiver can be very good, in fact there are already very good receivers. The devil is in the details. How much can it fight against the arid DSP NB NR etc and Sherwood does not question that in its list although it does talk about it in its in-depth reviews under contest conditions. But he lives in the country, I live in the city. The 7610 may not be the best receiver but it fights noise like a demon. It is very true what you say about the human ear is like that. 73 ED.
Just can't beat the build quality and feel factor of the icom 775dsp. In my opinion icom has never built a quality solid transceiver since the icom 775dsp . Price just is going up and up and up outpricing many in the hobby .
@@jemcommunications There has been a good bit of improvements to the technology since the last production in 2002 of the 775sdp. Do I think older Rigs felt more rugged ....no doubt. but the tech is cheaper to build. Most of the cost is going towards recouping R&D. But I agree with you the pricing is crazy. I have a opinion as to much better radio and have a 1kw ldmos amp, then still be at least $2500 cheaper than the 7760. be glad to take the discussion off of this page.
Does the DVI external monitor output in 4k resolution? The 7610 only did 1080p and in my opinion wasn't that good. Yaesu and elecraft output in full 4k so I was wondering
I like the radio, but I am concerned about fan noise. The radio block has four fans. Can you please comment on how much fan noise there is especially while transmitting?
more fans generally mean less noise. Having said that -- we don't know yet. The noise the deck produces may be easily mitigated, especially if it's being used for remote ops. (more that a few m away I mean here)
What is it with a section of amateurs that have been bitching about fan noise for decades? So what ... it's part of the rig and if it bothers you that much use headphones. But why are you sensitive and delicate that you would have to nitpick the sound of a fan?
OK, general futures this IC-7760 is SEPARATE noise from operator up to 100 meters LAN cable. (Other room and mb flor or house). Ventilators have not only 7760, also PA.
I just ate a calzone and went to town controlling my 7760 with greasy fingers. What a mess I made of the touch screen. I should have kept the plastic screen cover on.
@@9H1TT it will have to be picked up at the amp for it to work correctly. Icom has done a nice job introducing it with its plug and play cables for its amps.
@@kc8tyk86 Well I know that but is the 7760 equipped with a port to be fed the pickup in order to adj the pre distortion? That is my whole question? At face value i think it is not..
@@9H1TT Just my opinion if you have a 7610 keep it. If your wanting to go full features with a SDR purchase a Anan. For myself I run a Hermes Lite 2. Thetis software is amazing. You would be hard pressed to beat the receiver for a little over $470 usd.
Ohh... the 990s is a generation behind. IF they used 18 bit or above ADC chips in this design, then the holy numbers will shine. Let's see what happens.
@@willytee585 Give yourself an hour on this radio and I think you'd change your mind. There is SO much more in a radio design than the Sherwood numbers that contribute to owner happiness. Icom has those dialed-in. The 101D has congenital problems that will be ironed out in Yaesu's subsequent attempts at SDR's. A year from now Yaesu will release the FT-102D series with the warts removed.
€6,659.00!! No 60M or 4M or I have to remove diodes and mod a new radio? I got rid of the IC7610, as it did not have 4M. It's next to impossible to justify nearly €7K to have contacts just on HF. When will ICOM bring us a 100w HF/6/4 with VHF/UHF? Personally, I'd spend €1500 on a HF radio with 4M and the rest on mast, antennas and cabling.
How many people are realistically on 4 meters for you to be so delicate that you have to sell a radio because it doesn't include 4 meters? Open the radio and modify to use on 11 meters and 60 meters if you want. But why the crying?
so.. I see an issue. if I want to leave the main box in my shack.. and take the head into my house. The main box does not have a USB connection to the PC that is in the shack!! The front end box has USB CI'V but that would be in the house. and I would want to leave the radio box in the shack. so . this is a deal breaker for me.. IT has CI-V but I would also want CODEC audio to the PC that is in the shack for data modes.
Yep, we're for sure boomers - we're the only ones left who could be bothered to drop $9671.00 bucks CDN on a ham radio ........ wanna bet they just loaned it to this guy for a review.
TO MUCH MONEY......100 WATTS MORE NO BIG DEAL...... & FEW MORE FANCY BELLS AND WHISTLE......SEPARATE R. F. DECK NO BIG DEAL...IM NOT IMPRESSED. i RATHER USE THE 7610 AT HALF THE PRICE OF THIS 7760 ...$6,000 +....... I WILL PASS. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO.
@@RoelandJansen Couple more antenna ports, built in power supply and remote head and 200 watts is basically all it brings to the table. You will always have those that run to the table to be first.

Is the Noise Reduction improved? Yaesu are miles ahead of ICOM in this area, so I am keen to learn if they have made any improvements with the 7760.

Great looking radio. Although I am a little sad that it has no 2m/70cm. :)
Exactly. It’s ridiculous it isn’t HF/VHF/UHF, the only Icom multi band/ multi mode is the rather dated 7100.
