I love meters like this

Got my General and the 7300 over a year ago and have yet to transmit. This is just what I needed to work through some of the complexity and frustration of using it for SWL. Thanks!

Nice !!PA3CRL

What could be the cause of my problem if the TRX makes the relay rattle 4-6 times when sending in "split mode".

Not much left to track in my area unfortunately. Everything is digital now. Nice machine though.

Nice machine. Air and wx sounds good.

Have one, great radio. I even have a 500(z filter and VHF converter. Has some burned out lamps I need to replace. Plan to use LEDs.

I really like the quad standby! Nice small radio for a good price. I have no interest in spectrum display.

Great info. Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

People who need a video like this to learn how to use a 7300 on SWBC bands and how to look up stations should perhaps not buy a radio like this. They can get equally overwhelmed by even more functionality for a small fraction of that money by buying a decent SDR box like the SDRPlay RSP or AirSpy HF+ Discovery. That also removes the risk of damaging some expensive electronics while getting lost in the menus and accidentally keying up the TX with the voice memories.

Could you possibly do a detailed starter guide for these ? I have a 2550a with tone module installed however when trying to set a channel I am unable to change the offset and when hitting the tone button the radio transmits instead of switching to tone select mode. I’m not sure if it’s user error or if there’s a malfunction with the unit itself. There are channels that were programmed to some local repeaters from the previous owner (yard sale find) and The radio successfully operates on those repeaters however I’m having no luck adding new channels and tones. Thanks in advance !!

What’s the ideal antenna for this radio?

ne helpful thing for Doing SWL, is the customizable fiters . I set one of my AM filters for widest possible band FOR VOICE , I also bring the low freq response up and high end down for nose reduction. Using the tunable filters really can improve the sound for SWL use.

Nice!! I inherited one of these from a friend. I presume from your YT name that you’re in the business of swapping radios? Do you still have this one? Lastly, do you know of anyone who can provide some guidance on using at TS-440?

Wonder if he still has it

Having a waterfall display is great for identifying active frequencies.

CFRX is a 1KW international Shortwave relay station of CFRB 1010 AM Toronto. CFRX signed on the air in Feb 11 1937, 10 years after CFRB went on the air. Cheers!

I'm curious how well a Dentron GLA1000 would work with a Yaesu FTDX1200 or an Icom 746Pro.

You can listen to HF for free with a computer. And most people will not invest in a proper antenna, so buying a good receiver and not having a good antenna is like buying a $10,000 commercial walk in cooler for a gallon of milk and a dozen eggs. The reason for the license is because it not only receives but it also transmits and it is human nature that anything that can transmit that someone is eventually going to be tempted to try it. And legally before the internet, the stores that sold the radio refused to sell to anyone unless they had a license and a valid call sign. Even in 2011, Ham Radio Outlet refused to sell the radio to me unless I gave them my call sign. Truthfully unless you listen to ham radio, there is nothing left on the shortwave radio. Everything has migrated to the internet.

thank you for not broadcasting with it on 11m, like so many do.

I thought this video was very helpful and informative . And I didn't have to watch it 5 times. Thanks for sharing.

I live in Rienzi Mississippi 👍

Used to send out SINPO reports to radio stations across the world, hoping to get qsl cards in return. Most stations would return a card, some signed by the presenters and crew. Best return I ever got was fom a station in Beijing. I received a large package with magazines promoting their country ( couldn’t read Chinese though ) flags, metal lapel badges, calendars and pens. I received the same package three years running from them, happy days. Every letter I received from Russian stations, had been opened before I got it ! Must have thought I was a spy 😂 But internet came along and a lot of stations stopped using radio to broadcast their signal. I’m getting back into listening using my trusty FRG7700 and long wire, and there are still lots of stations to be found. A few hours listening seems like 20 minutes. Your video was very informative, not just for newies, but for anybody who has that radio. Well done 73s

The communications receiver is the best shortwave receiver that has ever been made.

Хороший аппарат, на 10 м антенну( веревка ,на 6 этаже) принимает пол мира!

Caveat: Mine goes crazy outside the ham bands between 10m and 6m; aliasing in the AtoD??

The 40 meter ham band exists between 7000 and 7300, not 7100 and 7300.

I am a novice to HAM. I bought an ICOM 7300 so needless to say “I found this very interesting “. Thank you

Thanks for a most interesting and informative video. I have noted down the short wave webpage that you mentioned, which should be quite handy. I don't have an ICOM receiver, though I do have a Yaesu FRG-100 that receives the SW band among other things.

A list of the Short wave bands is very useful!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortwave_bands

Does the backlight come on or do you have to push the lamp button. Thanks

I bought one of these kenwood 2550a I paid 60.00 plus shipping which was 13.00. My question is whats the going price for one of these with the tone module is install3e. I haven't received the radio yet

how to open the vhf frequency 140-146 mhz

Thats fun stuff.

I scan but the waterfall doesn’t follow when I get out of the ham bands like yours. Do I need to delete band edges or something?

Hello, could you help me know how I should configure the 7300 with this amplifier? How much power does it give you ? Do you use antenna tuner? Thanks for your support !! I have the same equipment and I would like to make it work

That radio there looks an awful lot like the old alinco N0SPW

This was very useful, thanks. Two months ago I bought a CCrane Skywave SSB, resurrecting my old interest in radio from years ago (as well as working in radio news journalism for years), and then set up a LoG antenna in the garden using 18-gauge speaker wire and (eventually) a 4:1 LDG balun from HRO. Two weeks ago I somehow persuaded myself to get an ICOM 7300 and a suitable power supply from the same store, and tomorrow I'm going to (attempt to) put a longwire 'random' antenna in our high locust tree, fed into a cheap 9:1 balun I got from China or somewhere. I also signed up for a ham radio study course with a view to taking my exam in a few months. So you could say things escalated. 😁 I used CB back in Britain some years ago and always meant to progress to ham but never got the chance in the end. Now I'm in the US and the Technician license beckons. Thanks again for an interesting and informative vid :)

Brilliant, great information and demo. Much appreciated.🍻🤠

Me personally I don't like the din microphone connections , I remember from my cb days when ratshack had din plugs they would fall apart if you looked at them sideways that is the only thing I would change on those little rigs.

Hello. Can the 7300 rf output be totally inhibited to prevent blowing up an active receive antenna? Too, can am bandwidth filter be variably adjusted or is that just fixed bandwidths. Thanks!

I have this radio and it is a lot of radio for the price point. I've been working some 60m lately and I couldn't believe how much activity is there.

Appreciate your perspective to use the 7300 for Short wave listening to. In the past I have enjoyed Short Wave programs Especially enjoyed you techniques. Thanks for the tips to identifying which stations are active 😀 73 Steve AA4SH

6070: CJRN Toronto.

I'll scan outside the amateur bands every now and then. Heard some air traffic control and some pirate stations in LSB below 40m one night.

I do own a Yaesu FT-891 and use it frequently for SWLing. I miss that big scope & waterfall the IC-7300 offers, would be thrilled to find pirate stations more easily. My question: with the IC-7300 can you select SW station, customize its bandwith and store it in memory? 73's from Québec, Canada, VE2YOW

Thanks for the presentation. I’m actually considering the Icom 7300 just to use as a SW receiver.

Many congrats from user Icom-7300! de UA3NDX, Anton

I have one what antenna do I need can u help
