Icom in the brochure for the IC-7300 touts the great receiver in this radio. One great feature of the scope is the ability to use your finger to touch and tune to a signal displayed on the scope. These scopes look fantastic on the 4.3 inch TFT LCD screen. It also has a great real-time audio scope. Of course, one of the great features of this radio is the big real-time spectrum scope with waterfall.
As I stood and played with the rig, I thought how great it would be on the desk, but also how perfect it would be for portable operation for Field Day, NPOTA, and other similar activities. It includes an SD card slot on the front, and connections for USB, antenna, external tuner (although it has a built in auto tuner), key, ALC, accessory, CI-V, speaker and others. The IC-7300 weighs just under 10 pounds, with dimensions of 9.45 x 3.7 x 9.37 inches. This is not a full review, but I found the entire front panel to be well laid out with good ergonomics in mind. A long press of buttons and certain touch screen functions bring up secondary controls that are also easy to navigate and operate. The many features of this radio activated by a simple touch of the screen were fast and responsive, and the menus are intuitive and very easy to navigate. The big 4.3 inch LCD color touch screen is bright, crisp and clear. It is the perfect size for a ham shack or a portable operation. I had a little bit of time at the show to take a look at the radio.
