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

@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 ...
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.
