AmateurRadio.com has a nice link to AB4BJ's blog on first impressions of the ICOM IC7300 transceiver including videos that I have not seen before. Look for Amateur Radio Weekly - issue 99.
If you are considering this radio, it is worth checking out. He was impressed. So was I. At the moment, the IC7300 looks the favorite for my shack unless Yaesu announces a neat FT817 replacement that is stable, bug-free and available in the UK later this year at a sensible price.
As an IC703 replacement, I'd prefer a low power version, but this is unlikely to be available with CE (EU approvals) marking outside of Japan. 10W would suit me fine.

ReplyDeleteAs far as I can see, since this radio uses direct sampling at RF frequencies, I would not expect any physical IF output. There could be a virtual one.

Paul Stam, I hope it still works! It does for me.
ReplyDeleteInteresting videos. Indeed not seen before. Great view on the filtering options. Sounds really nice. I almost can't wait to read real users experiences. 73, Bas
