I bought an IC-7300 when the output on my Kenwood T2000 failed, probably due to nearby lightning. I had reservations about anything but Kenwood, but the 7300 design is great. There is a heck of a learning curve because it will do so much, and so well. I especially like the filtering since my antennas leave a lot to be desired. Speaking of antennas, mine need some tuning, and the 7300 auto tuner works great. I'm suddenly getting used to SWR values of about 1.2:1 in many cases. I mostly work 20 and 10 meters right not. But even my slinky hunk of junk 40 meter antenna is tuning up pretty well. I only wish the 7300 had a 2 meter section as well.
I am not at all impressed by the seller. He shipped the product by Fed Ex Smart Postal or something like that. It should have taken a couple-three days to get to SE Virginia from Alabama. That carton went to TN, WV, MD, Norfolk, Richmond, and finally back to SE Virginia. I live a half an hours drive from Norfolk. That's nuts! By the time Fed Ex and the USPS gets through with it, you never know what to expect. The seller certainly must know that. UPS would have had it here in 2-3 days tops.
This Transceiver is my top recommendation for a first HF rig. It is very well designed and has all the necessary features. You will keep learning the craft with this radio. I doubt you will grow out of it.
I love the frequency readout and waterfall. It is super easy to look at a cw contact and answer it. All the controls are easy to learn and remember. There is a 2 minute YouTube video on every control button and menu item. This is the most effective and versatile transceiver I have ever used.
Okay I recently moved into a rental home so I can't have some massive antenna setup. So I figured I would need some DSP on my side, because I'm going to have some kind of stealth, not great antenna setup.
For the fun of it, I sat a quarter wave 50 ohm 2M magnetic mount antenna on a window ledge. Hooked it up to this transceiver. Please don't freak out, I'm not planning on transmitting with this, just wanted to listen. Yeah I have no ground plane or anything, and I'm listening to CW and SSB around 800 miles away and with a tiny bit of filter tweaking, it sounds like a telephone conversation right up to my ear. I absolutely cannot wait to figure out some kind of actual half wave antenna to throw on this bad boy. Not to mention actually grounding it. Lol.
I have had a few Kenwood HF rigs and etc, this radio blows them away. The scope alone is worth every dollar. The waterfall... Okay I could go on, but seriously this radio has some kind of freakishly good receiver capabilities. I can barely wait to transmit. But I'm not going to mess around with some weird makeshift stuff. I need to balance out some kind of dipole or something first.
If you are reading this, you are obviously considering this radio. Just do it. Icom is amazing, You won't regret it.
