What! I did not know that; now I need to try it.

#IC7300

@gmoretti @NH6SP

@NH6SP Excellent choice! Nice audio and has transmit tone controls too - useful for tweaking your audio.

A tip: holding down the Cent/Fix button reveals a mode I'd wanted but didn't realise existed: it scrolls the cursor across the waterfall rather than the default scrolling the waterfall and leaving the cursor fixed in the center. This mode is really nice for displaying a 50KHz section of the band during contests.

IC-7300 is now selling for $889 everywhere (DXE, Gigaparts, HRO).

The #hamradio #CQWW is largely a bust for me. Solo op and 8hrs scattered over 3 sessions and I have a total of 40 contacts. Bleach. Now we did have a rain storm over night and this morning. FT8 showed that propagation was horrible, so that could be it. But dang if that isn't discouraging. Could hear many ops but couldn't get them to hear me. #ic7300 and 100W on an end fed random draped over my house roof ~30ft AGL.

@kb6nu One trap that got me several times with the #IC7300 with Ubuntu-Mate was that while audio to the computer worked, I had to set the volume from the computer to the radio way over 100% otherwise the transmit power level was only about 5W.

It turned out the 7300 needs to the in USB-D (data) mode for the computer audio to be routed in the radio correctly. I'd had it in USB (upper sideband) - not USB-D.

As soon as I set it to USB-D, the transmit power was fine. The 7610 may be similar ...

Whoo-hoo I got #ubuntu #linux running on my #hamradio laptop. #sdrpp works and so does #wsjtx with the #hydrasdr and #ic7300. The #laptop is an old #lenovoyoga 1st generation.
@DD3AH wenigstens ein zusätzlicher Antennen Anschluss wäre toll gewesen...
Der LAN Anschluss ist natürlich schön:
Direkte Steuerung ohne zusätzlichen Rechner, wie auch beim #IC9700
Aber nur dafür wechsel ich nicht zum MKII.
Ich bin immer noch sehr zufrieden mit meinem #IC7300

Der Icom IC-7300 bekommt eine Modellpflege namens MKII. Die Liste der neuen Features liest sich gut. Ich bin mal gespannt, wie sich das in € ausdrückt.

@kr1st I found a couple of local #6meter #repeaters. I'll give them a try. I found this video for programming the #IC7300 for repeaters. fun stuff. https://youtu.be/LOrKUcs0eac?feature=shared
Ham Radio - Setting up the Icom 7300 for 6 meter repeaters.

One of next week’s #HamRadioGoals will be to stop just talking about it & get some form of #FT8 -ish comms up & running. (The somewhat conversational variety that lets you type almost free-flow is the one I’ll be after.) I have an #IC7300 that has seen very little use & a small Gateway notebook that I think will be sufficient. So… I’ll do the research, but does anyone have suggestions for their top pick for a best website or YouTube chan / video perhaps? #KE0FFT #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
