Very nice video. Thank you. I am a Technician, upgrading to General next week or so. This radio is on my short list. Oh how I wish, I wish out of the hundreds of videos on this radio, someone would take the time to show....how its hooked up and connected, what type of por supply is good for this unit, what is your antenna configuration. That is what I would really like to learn.
Witam. Radio jest świetne. Chcę jednak zwrócić uwagę na pomiar mocy. Kolega przedstawił skalę 100 W i uśrednienie pomiaru mocy. Maksymalna moc promieniowania wynosi 50 WAT. Większość skrzyń biegów mieści się w przedziale od 25 do 35 WAT. Jest to więc radio QRP - a nie QRO jak podaje producent. Nigdy nie będzie to 100W podczas modulacji SSB.
Nice video, question did you purchased the from Ebay? I noticed they have sellers from Japan and always been suspect. Did you payed anything extra? apprecaite the video and thats one of the reason why I like it its not huge radio.
Calling CQ 40, CQ 40 meters is redundant. If you have a license to operate a radio you should know what band you are on without having someone call CQ(insert band).
Thanks for this positive video! I purchased the IC-7300 2016 when i was in Friedrichshafen to HAM Fair and never regret my decision since ever! i have some more rigs in may shag bit the workhorse is my 7300 and should i need in the future a transceiver again, than I will have another IC-7300 definitely.
This is the model of HF rig that I now have. And OVF means you have a very strong signal from not too far away from you, and you need to put an attenuator on or turn down the RF gain. 73 VE7NDE
Hi there Robert KB3VXB, Thanks for a great video. I have also recently got an ICOM IC 7610, but I've not got it out of the boxes yet. I've been watching different owners videos in order to learn a few things about it 1st. The more videos that I watch, the more I want to get mine out of the boxes & have a play with it. The trouble is that I don't have a very good antenna. It's just a simple Comet ??? 250 vertical. Kind Regards, Ray,, aka M0RAY, South East England, UK..
I have an ICOM IC 7610, but I'm only just learning my way around it. All of the different videos by various different owners help me a great deal. Kind Regards, Ray.
This is KL5FX I have an IC-7610 as my fist radio and I can stop using it every day at my QTH awesome radio for Phone, RTTY and CW however my favorite is FT8. nice video my friend..73
It's new to you so you are blinded by the the magic. Having said that it's the best, most feature-rich, affordable high technology amateur radio ever introduced. But you're not looking at how noisy this radio is. Same mistake too many people make when they don't have decades of experience with other radios. You can't completely remove the background hash because the RF Gain does not and never will work like an RF Gain in an old 80's radio which made them extremely quiet. Radio is all about signal to noise ratio dude. You can't tame an Icom 7300 because of it's limited and cheap SDR architecture. You forgot to mention that it's fatiguing to use with headphones. You WILL get tired of using it with headphones and you will see that old radios or full SDRs like the Anan 7000 don't have this problem. It's noisy as hell. No matter how much you adjust the LPF and HPF in the receive audio equalizer you will never make the background static less pleasant. The whole experience is receive audio that is too sharp despite the SOFT and SHARP settings in filtering. Having said that, It's a dream radio. Better than an Icom 718 and it has the best transmit audio of anything that's come out in decades. Enjoy it. Keep the RF gain down low so it doesn't overload, another problem with these radio is too much sensitivity.
It is quite a transceiver! I have an IC 7600 that came to me from a silent key. Only been an amateur for 2 years and General since July. Thanks for the video!
This radio is making me seriously consider getting into ham radio. I'm curious about the auto transmit of the pre-recorded CQ, can you adjust the listening interval between transmissions? ... and if you are slow to disable the auto transmit and someone is coming back to you will it auto stop or is it going to step on them? ( just subscribed by the way)
hello there .... yes you can adjust that interval between transmission... also, if somebody's coming back, sq will still going and yes, we will step on each other lol
Ive been into Ham radio for about two years. consider getting Technician and working 10 meter band while the solar cycle is up. You'll want to upgrade to General after seeing what HF does in person.
very good radio in my opinion, always a well intelligible detailed good sounding modulation when i hear people speak through it (in SSB), the Icom IC-7300 . the a/d - converter in the 7300 is better than that in the new Yaesu FT-710 or same the ftdx101, the 7300 is the better choice. the noise reduction in the 7300 doesnt make digital artifacts like the kenwood dsp does. that 7300 is in my opinion the best radio that is available new. i set the NR & NB to max and increase the treble, there is then signals (ssb speech) that become intelligible that werent audible before, icom does that better. only problem is strong signals somewhere on a nearby frequency make qrm across the whole frequency range. if icom would fix that problem, this would be the perfect radio.
Ts890 I have had both but don't get me wrong the 7610 a great radio their more customisation you can do on the 890 and the quality build second to none if the dual vfo on the 7610 are important to you and easy use touch screen and you want a plug and go rig icom may be your better option
I have a TS990 and it is my baby. I got it 7 years ago and still love it as much now as day 1. It has the best of both worlds with knobs and menus. My 7300 has me sold on Icom as a good backup radio.
I had the same choice to make, TS890 or IC7610. I ended with the 7610 because of availability in NL and the fact is the 7610 can do the same (and more because of dual VFO) as the 890 for less. The 890 is about 800 euro's more here, that's a lot of money.
Had mine about a year now best thing I have ever purchased and I heard so many people useing them world wide and complimenting them .I thought that's the one great video and if you go on cw the filtering is out of this world too 73 john m0asn
I have had mine since August 2020 and have loved every minute of it! Fantastic radio, and so many features that you might expect of a bigger radio. Enjoy it! de EI2KC
So you sold your 7300 to get the 7610?
It's an awesome rig!!

No, I didn't pay anything that sure and just to let you know, I will buy it again and again and again you should do it too
hi nice radio i have the same one , can i ask you do you find the ldg tuner better than the in built icom tuner ! thanks
it's the same I just use mine for the amplifier
I agree, it looks so big in all the videos. Mine on its way now!
Now this is reality t.v. Great video 👍 KO4HEK
Insert a SD card and format it.
Calling CQ 40, CQ 40 meters is redundant. If you have a license to operate a radio you should know what band you are on without having someone call CQ(insert band).
Does the internal antenna tuner not quite cut it? Requiring an external tuner?
I just do the external because I have an amplifier that's why but the internal it's just as good

Congratulations! 🎉
whats the point in doing this?
Why would you buy a 7300 if you have 7610.....it don't make sense
that 7300 I have it at work and the 7610 at the house
great video im looking at getting 7610 myself . what range was you getting
What kind of antenna are you running with your ic-7300?
Book mastered 270 feet long, off-center dipole
Thanks for making this video. All the best! 73. 😀
Just subscribed. Only it might be useful to show how many subscribers you have , as you might already have several thousand?
I didn't even know it doesn't not show?

I've had mine 3 years, the 7300 excellent SSB/Digital rig, but so-so on CW. 73/K6SDW
Great freezer!
Same mic i use and i love it, great reports. 73s KE8WGY
Nice video. I've had mine for about a year now, and love it. Great radio for portable work too!
Just saw this and subscribed!#99 Nice video working the bands!
It is quite a transceiver! I have an IC 7600 that came to me from a silent key. Only been an amateur for 2 years and General since July. Thanks for the video!
Mines on the way... nice to see and hear happy 7300 Operators 👍
Thank you so much a real ham radio op given his real deal feelings enjoy brother see you on 40m
Nice Setup. Love the external analog SWR / PWR Meter by LDG. And of course the IC-7610 is a Granate of a Base Transceiver. 73 de Uncle Guenter 💯💣🎙🙋♂

@@jameski5oeb668 I agree. It’s like crack for new hams.😊
Once you press your key manually it stops. So it can be made to stop quickly.
You're vids are great, real world operation. Got my 7610 also about 1,5 month now, awesome radio it is.

I think that you must have also tuned a squirrel!
good job!
7610 or the 890s help me make the right choice !!!

I don’t have that radio but how did you name them. The recording buttons. 73 de AC1O
it was very easy. I'll show her next video.
I use a Shure SM7B for a microphone
Great video! de W2CSI
Nice radio and I'll have a ham and pineapple pizza 12 inch
is wonderful you got a new icom ic7610 I like my ic 7610 73
Cute little radio but got run my drake still own a kenwood 440 and 520 s
Nice radio, wish they would give you the ability to remove the second receiver meter.
