Yes he can lol

nice bit of kit, I would have wound the coil auto transformer style like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpjOYXuqhNp4Zqssi=6RnTdAe8YZrIe7UV. fyi liquid electricians tape or cut up pieces of old inner tube also can make good gaskets for the holes you drill in the case. I would also drill a small hole (in the bottom of the case) to allow any water that gets in or condensation to escape. looking forward to seeing the testing results.

Great video Jonathan. My current setup uses the choke at 0.05λ and another choke as the coax comes into the shack. Can’t wait to see your results video. 👍🏼

Hi, just out of interest… is there a dc connection between the bottom of the coil and the centre of the base socket?

Very nice. Are you going to test it to see how it performs ?

Your title is misleading that design has been around since the 70's .... Try Googling Cushcraft R5 matching network it is exactly the same.

hope it works for you jonathan best 73's andy m0abg

I can't see my QSL card on the wall! :) LOL!

Will it take 1500 watts? All day.

I had no idea you’d done this video 😂 So that’s two of us who’ve proved it’s possible. 😊

What mast are you using, Jonathon

Excellent video review. I love my D75 for travel using the broad band receiver all around the world and the GPS to augment the functionality on my IPhone. Still enjoy my Icom ID52, but this radio is clearly superior. 73 N3CI

HI DER

To be honest, Dstar and most other digital modes is nothing less than a PAIN in the butt!

Lovely to find you on KZbin Jonathan. I hope life is treating you since leaving ML&S. I recently went back to basics and bought a TS-590SG (from ML&S of course) - what an underrated radio if ever there was one. Thanks for the 7610 review! 73 Mike M0SAZ.

Love the video Jon

NİCE STREAM 😎😎👍👍👍👍 TA2DLA 73

For what the 7610 costs, you can purchase three (3) IC-7300’s, and run each one on monobanders. The receiver specs between the two are negligible. So that’s what I did.

Great video Jonathan. Fabulous radio. The best radio I've ever owned. 73, Jonathan.

Owning both IC-7300 as well as the IC-7600 helped us come to the conclusion that the IC-7300 is the better option when it comes to value for money or even just simplicity of use, most of the money should be put on a GOOD antenna that help reject QRM from the very start, many hams fail here, putting their big money in radios and microphones yet still not being heard.Nevertheless if you suffer for money growing out of your trees than go for the very best that suit you, BUT don't ever try and save money on your antenna

Jonathan I suffer high noise on 40M . In my experience the best work around is a rx only mag loop in the rx port. Even a cheap mla30+ should work quite nicely. Regards Matthew 2E0YMB

thank you for not running it on the 11m band. so tired of hearing people brag about these icoms there. take care

Nice video! What about RF noise? It's like Chinese video switching power supplies ?

I missed this, was having dinner here in VE3. Then before that, I was watching Spain outplay France. Sorry (what a game that was), see you next time Jonathan mate

I have to agree with slight wobble on the two knobs, however, there has to be some travel to allow the switching function, i guess this doesn’t help. However the one push mute is excellent.. i seem to remember many Icoms used to use hide away knobs which also felt slightly wobbly… however, the fact that they could be hidden away meant they never received damage.. as a CW op. I find the radio really good as is the remote with SDRcontrol…All in all, very happy with it. Thanks for your review ☺️ Lastly, I have to mention Icom UK’s excellent support.

What are you flashing about?

Had it, sold it, no 4M.. went full SDR instead.

Get rid of all the bells and whistles and crap nobody really needs and it would actually be affordable.

Very good Jonathan The 7610 takes some beating 👍 You should get some commission from the dealers who will now be flooded with orders?😊 I wonder if there will be updates to the 7300 and 7610? Cheers Robert G3RCE

iCOM to the Day I die 💯😍👍

For that kind of money, it should have 200 watts, and a roofing filter. Once you have a roofing filter, you are spoiled and cant go back.

Heard you on it last Friday night, and Saturday night i think, on 40m, i did shout you but only had 10w on my icom 703 portable but you were radio 5 nice audio into Southend (or just down the road) cheers, Paul G7JVB.

Thanks for this, Jonathan. The big selling-point for me is having two receivers, which allows rx diversity e.g. polarisation-diversity. 😃

Are you reading this Icom give Jonathan this radio, oh and if you can send one my way it would be appreciated. Thank You 😂 great review, looking to purchase one in the not to distant future.

Nice review Jonathan. Got me thinking now !

Missed the notification! Great video on a reliable radio Jonathan mate, keep it up

probably a stunning radio but not applicable for me in any way (every day use? I wish lol) ,any chance of reviews on radios for compromised shacks or portable operations? I lot of us are stuck in flats and base stations are just a pipe dream, and are never going to happen.

IC-7610 vs FTDX10 - the price/performance of the FTDX10 might be better.

Love the meters :)

Yeay!

hi der

I bought one used...

Excellent suggestion. In my case what I discovered was that the flex in the pole while lifting it into position puts a lot of extra tension on at least one of the elements causing it to fail at the fold over loops. I've since modified my Expedition as well and have had no further failures.

Thanks for the review. Just a tip about the abraded/ scratched screen issue. I have a ic e92d and used metal polish to get rid of the marks that had appeared over time. Probably t-cut would do the job also.

Hi Jonathan you kindly helped me with the log book details log4om just wondered how do you connect the Icom 7610 to the computer think the cable I’ve got is usb at one end and the other end is a plug the same as you use in a printer do you do any setups in the radio and also the program Regards Albin G0UOB

Amazing explanation, super clean and full described work 👌 Thanks mate, 73!

Many thanks from Finland, Jonathan! Your video encouraged me to order the Digirig plus some cables for my good old FT-857d that I use for WWFF, POTA and Emcomm out in the field. Also a pleasant surprise to be able to program the rig with this configuration. 73 de OH2CJI

Thanks!

If you have an iPhone or iPad and want to get more out of your TH-D75, consider getting the B.B. Link adapter. This adapter allows iOS devices to work with the Kenwood TH-D74 and TH-D75 over Bluetooth. With it, you can run apps like RadioMail for emails and aprsfi for GPS positioning and messaging, leveraging the powerful built-in packet TNC in the radio.

770 voice guidance prompts for the visually-impaired, or those who don't want to take their eyes off the road. Press and hold # at power up. Icom and Yaesu flagship HT's do not include this, plus have touch screens. The Icom ID-52 doesn't even have a full DTMF pad. Thank you Kenwood, for continuing to include hams who are blind or visually-impaired!
