Icom IC-7300
by AB4BJ
“I have been having a great time at Orlando Hamcation that this year features the ARRL National Convention. One of the highlights was getting a first hand look at the brand newIcom IC-7300. Icom had a demonstration model on display that was shipped from Japan just for this show. As far as I know, it’s the one and only IC-7300 on display in the USA at this time. This radio has generated a lot of interest on the Internet since it was announced. Many in attendance in the big crowd on Friday made a bee-line for the Icom booth to get a first look at the IC-7300. FCC approval is pending, and the radio is expected to be in production and available for sale by the end of March, 2016.
