Well organized shack! My shack is always messy^^!
Oh! External VFO, looks very useful gear^^!
Well done that man :)
there are 12 pages of information as well.
1.42 is available on the US site btw L
101👍👍
just updated to 1.42 and I do not hear any differences in the NR algorithm, still sound watery...
Reply i received from Icom support in U.K Important Notice About Recent Icom HF Firmware Upgrades Designed for the Japanese Market Some customers have noticed new firmware upgrades for our HF Amateur radios in the support section of the Japanese language Icom website. Please note that these firmware upgrades are Beta versions designed for Japanese home market HF Radios. They are not intended for international distribution and may cause your radio not to work correctly if installed. Please note that when appropriate firmware is available, we will notify you immediately and post it on our website/social media channels.
Cannot find v1.42 firmware on Icom sites, Mar 2024.
I got it from the Icom Japan site.
Only 1.41 as i can see on the webpage for icomamerica.
The NR does seem better but on mine too.
Crazy! What antenna did you use on your side?
6 band Hexbeam
My side chick said she didn't want the job anymore 🙄🥺😢😩
Hi. Tell me, what logger do you use? very convenient!
The log is station-master.online
Hi Ady - what's a Live Steam 😂
@@GeoffGM8OFQ oops 😬
👍
Wow not bad 👍 I don’t have that many DXCCs across all bands 😅 That said I am also limiting myself to phone only at the moment. Once I hit the limit of what I can achieve that way, I will come back to FT8 and the like. It’s an interesting mode but not as fun as getting them on voice.
G6DD 😂🤦
I know lol.
Good work! I’m planning on a centre loaded 12m long vertical for 80m for portable. To do the same thing you are proposing.. early morning Greyline. Stay warm!
Cool. Let us know how it goes.
Skip to 06:00 minutes to hear the first contact.
Many congrats from user Icom-7300! de UA3NDX, Anton
Hello Adrian. I would be very appreciative if you could share details of your existing hex beam as I wonder if it would be a possibility for me. I have a 12m steel tilt over tenna mast. I am keen to improve my station capacity from the current wire antennas I have at present. Regards, Adam.
I highly recommend the G3TXQ Hexbeam. Available as a 6 band (6m-20m) plus an optional add on kit for 40m ( this dipole requires a separate coax feed line).
@@adyg6ad73 thank you, I will take a look.
Your not showing anything but fancy equipment here no point at all to your comparison but I'll be fair and see if you do better....
silly comparison.........maybe the 7610 or 101MP Vs K4D but not two radios in 2 different price ranges...........sorry Mike K1FNX near Boston
I am comparing what I have. It would be nice to have an IC7610 or the FTDX101D though.
QSL didn't mean to be nasty just stating the obvious 73 MP@@adyg6ad73
Sounds like he’s using a tighter filter on the 7300 … you need to use a wider filter.. not a good comparison
The filters are both set at 2.8k I think you’re right though, I should try again with a wider filter. 3.3k?
Of course I’d expect a radio that’s four times as expensive to perform better but I think 99% of the audible difference in this video is just the speaker. Maybe you can connect an external speaker to both radios and have them output the same volume as well. I got the impression that the K4 sounded richer with the limited bandwidth, but I can’t really say with certainty whether it was the receiver or the speaker.
Yes, your idea for the speaker is a better way to compare the two. Watch this space ;-)
I think in this demo the K4D has better audio from it's speaker, especially on the weaker station. I will try to come up with a better way to do this.
As EI2IP says it is only the speaker sound you are comparing. But the sound from the K4 is far superior to the IC7300. It may be better to connect to an external speaker that is switchable to get a proper comparison.
Good suggestion about the external speaker, thanks.
Sorry a 900 euro radio v 4000 euro!!! You know you are only comparing the speakers 🔊
Which do you prefer?
K4 by a country mile
I also have two military masts which I must do a video on sometime.
I forgot to give Keith’s call sign in the video. It’s is G3WRO. Thanks again Keith 👍
Good luck for 24 Ady, great to work you on 100mw the other day too , great fun haha, best 73
Thanks mate, that was fun. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
You’ll get these Ady I’m sure. 73 happy Xmas and new year!
Cheers mate. Wishing you happy and healthy 2024
That quad should be awesome! Merry Xmas to you both! & I hope you achieve all your new year goals mate, 73, Tom
Thanks mate. Have a good one!
Lots of awards planned and I'm sure you have lots of awards already. Do you have any suggestions what award a newcomer could start with?
I particularly like the one on QRZ.com but the biggest thrill for me is adding a new DXCC entity to my log book. All modes count towards them to.
@@adyg6ad73 As a newbie to the hobby myself, I agree that getting a new DXCC in the log is very satisfying, especially when it's a rare one. Of course right now, it's still very easy for me, as most of the list is still unchecked. I wonder how long it will take me to get all DXCCs, even for all bands combined 😄
Delta Romeo! 🤣🤣
Have they released a US version of 1.42?
I don’t see it on the website
It's up now. Posted 5/15/24

Hi Ady, Great job! Congratulations for extra YT channel and mamy thanks for 2 wonderful qso today. Ham spirit is on The air. Thanks You and Good luck! Darek, sp8dr
Thank you so much! Let’s do it again soon. 73 de Ady G6AD
Did they update the NR with the new firmware? The release notes don’t mention anything, as far as I can tell.
Good question...did you find a copy of the notes in English? I can't find it for V 1.42
So what’s new with 1.42? Is it worth it to upgrade?
The explanation is in Japanese. So I am doing some on air testing. The NR video is coming soon.
Turn off the decoder zzzz
I have not learned the code proficiency so it’s my crutch until then.
I had a 101 zd , about 35 yrs ago , built like a tank , nice to see old equipment, I currently have. Ts140 S , that’s knocking on in yrs , could do with a Mr Wood service in the future, cheers Shane
The shacks looking good buddy , thumbs up 👍 🎉
Thanks 👍
Bravo ótimo vídeo parabéns guerreiro 🪖 bazuka Foz do Iguaçu PR Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you my friend. 73
Had this line for years. Fantastic setup. Only disadvantage was al lot of tuning and switching when I changed bands. Otherwise I was very happy with it. 👍
