Icom7300 02 Direct Sampling Shortwave Radio Black

The iconic Icom 7300. You can't go wrong with this ham radio.

Excellent transceiver! Best value for the money. Extremely happy with this purchase.

The only drawback of this radio, besides what seems like a high price but really isn't, is the fact that older models are HF capable and this one isn't. It's a shame really

Great product 👌 👏

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.

I use this for nearly all my HAM contacts now. It has a tuner and filters that make Ham really fun!. I have used it for POTA and plan on using it for SOTA. It came with all the accessories needed to put it into operation short the power source. So you will need either a good 12v LifePO battery or a power supply but other than that- Perfect .

This was my first radio after getting my general license. Set up was easy, the menus are easy to navigate, and good audio quality. Within a week of having this radio I was making DX contacts. I would recommend this radio to anybody wanting a solid, reliable, HF transceiver. It may not be the absolute best at any one area, but for the money it’s hard to beat overall performance for the same price.

lots of bells and whistles. Like a modern plane cockpit when I just needed a 65 Cessna plane. I'm still learning and testing the radio. Big investment. This would be a radio to protect from power surges and static discharge. I'll update when I have more experience.
