Even my old eyes have no difficulty seeing and using the screen. You can’t touch it for anything less than $3,000 or $4,000.Īnd the scope display is on a 4-inch LCD touch screen. The receiver, in other words, is amazing.

This by itself is huge, but the 7300 is also an SDR with a of 103db. The 7300’s real-time scope is the only one in a sub-$2,000 traditional style transceiver – one that doesn’t require a PC interface. If you haven’t experienced using a spectrum scope, you really need to.Īnd it has to be a real-time scope – building a scan while the audio is off as is found in some of the transceivers that have a scope, or building a scan from HRD or other computer interface to your radio is simply not the same thing. It is like being blind before, but now being able to see.

I don’t think that is really true.Īll the wonderful attributes of a Software Defined Radio (SDR) aside, the ability to operate with a spectrum scope totally changes the experience of operating a transceiver.

I did make one mistake: I assumed that almost everyone would have a radio with a built-in, real-time spectrum scope with a full waterfall display.

I’ve just become active again after quite a few years off, so maybe I’ve missed some of the more recent radio developments. (1/2018: the IC-7601 is now released and available.) And the more expensive radios – you’d have to think long and hard to buy one now, especially since Icom is likely to introduce more deluxe models (the IC-7610 or IC-7750 perhaps) within a year or so. Overnight, Icom has rendered essentially any transceiver under $3,500 obsolete, including their own. Why is this happening? It is because Icom has put almost all the technical features you can find in high-end transceivers (like those costing well over $5,000), and put them in a $1,500 ($1,200 in 2018) radio. That does mean you can get a really nice radio pretty cheap, but it won’t be a 7300. It is outselling all other radios, and has apparently caused a deep depression in prices in the used radio market. Since it was written immediately after the release of the 7300, Icom has sold over 20,000 units. Update, January 2018: The title of this article seems pretty prophetic. There are pages of reviews on, all positive. And almost all of them are totally positive. If you’ve listened around the bands the past couple of weeks, it seems like it is impossible to not hear conversations about the 7300.
