In this video, you can see what it can do for finding weak stations when you change and adjust your spectrum scope and waterfall. The 7300 is an amazing radio, with amazing features that are buried in this design. Check out the video for more.

Also since you can save as many setups as you like on your SD card, you can unmount your SD card and stick it into your pc and then copy the files off of the SD card onto the pc, and you can email your setup to a friend for him to try on his 7300 or post them on a forum if the forum allows files to be posted. It can also include saving your SSB and CW and RTTY memory contents too. But it is very nice to be able to help a newcomer by sending him your complete rig setup and he can load it in a few seconds, and you can then explain a feature or function while operating on a rig setup just like yours. 73 James K0UA

nice job. it does not hurt to play with settings for the scope/waterfall .with changing conditions I change my settings a lot.and the part i like best is reset to factory settings. usually what i do when done or first thing for the day or night. then change . A lot of this can be sent to PC and record them. and I can even do settings from my laptop. I saved my memories to PC . so much can be done. learning repeater settings on 10 and 6 meters. yes 7300 can do and even can scan PL tones . I heard some complaint's on fan noise on the 7300. what i hear is fine for me. my fan hardly comes on or if at all. I keep my power way down and let the amp do the work. my amp tubes 572/B last many years . I dip my grid and keep drive way down. and pre tune into dummy load . 7300 runs great on a LiFePO4 battery . love it. 73,s

Great material. I haven't been using my 7300 as effectively or as efficiently as I could. The video was excellent and you certainly know the rig inside/ out, but you often went too fast, especially for some of us using the rig for the first few times. So, good stuff and very much appreciated, but presented maybe just a bit too fast. Thanks

Thanks for this very useful video. I'm trying to decide whether to buy the IC-7300 or to spend much more money for the IC-7610. Maybe a comparison between the two? How about showing us how to hook up an SDR such as the RSP1a to the IC-7300? Concerned about being able to ground the SDR input so that transmitting on the 7300 doesn't kill the SDR. Also a recommendation on the SDR software to use, SDRPlay? Thanks!

Instead of changing the Ref, twist the RF gain until your noise level is ~ S1, this cleans up the waterfall and reduces some of the noise, while the signal is still just as good. It looks lower but sounds just fine.
@mrglabs4778
@mrglabs4778 Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately the inherent noise in the 7300 makes the rf gain almost useless. Try this… turn the rf gain fully ccw and note how much noise is present. Nothing coming in should equal nothing out yet the 7300 generates a lot of noise. The IC7300 is the noisiest rx I’ve ever used.

Now at 10:00AM I get a call from DXE saying ICOM won't let them honor the sale! I said then let ICOM know that the 7300 was my second ICOM HF Base purchase from you (and them), previously having purchased a new 7200. They said sorry, but they can't fulfill the transaction!!! I said...well, you're not yet sorry enough!
