ICOM IC-7300 explained
The ICOM IC-7300 is a multimode 6 meter, 4 meter (ITU Region 1 only) and HF base station amateur radio transceiver.[1] The IC-7300 was announced to the public at the Japan Ham Fair in 2015.[2] The radio has 100 watts output on CW, SSB, and FM modulations and 25 watts of output in AM.[3] Although not the first software-defined radio on the market, the IC-7300 was the first mass-produced mainstream amateur radio to use technology instead of the older superheterodyne transceiver design.[4] Designed to replace the older IC-746PRO the IC-7300 is smaller and significantly lighter than its predecessor.[5] Like many other radios of its class the IC-7300 has an internal antenna tuner and contains an internal audio card accessible over USB. This allows the radio to be used for popular digital modes such as PSK31, Winlink, and FT8.[6] [7] The radio has received praise for its easy to use menus, large readable screen, and excellent audio processing.[8] [9] [10]
