Icom IC7300

This is a fine HF/6m/4m transceiver which I am tempted to buy, but still feel it is over priced. In all the time it has sold, the price has hardly changed. Some are offering free covers or reduced priced PSUs. What I want is just the radio, but for less money!

The trouble is people are prepared to buy at the current price and, like the FT817 from Yaesu, it has no real competition. It is almost as if the dealers have been "got at" to hold the current price.

One thing is certain: if I buy at the current price they will all offer it for far less within 6 weeks!

    The FTDX101D will lead their way forward in the market later this year, and I guess over the next two years after, most of the range will slowly follow the change to SDR tech.


    Not long to wait eh, but you will be so Network Radio struck by then, all your HF rigs will be sold or hidden away under the bed.
