Dave, thank you for the comprehensive review of the IC-7610. You pointed out several things I did not know about the rig. very cool.
Thank you!!! and thank you again!!!! Great video. I have had the 7610 for about 6 months now and like most radios people get to a level with them and the learning about what ELSE it will do goes by the wayside. Your video reminded me of what I was missing. The dual diversity use was something I learned in Nam. That is really fascinating.! The R390's had that ability was used quite often. Oh! I had the Yaesu you have now and sold it to get the 7610. I agree with you the Ft3000 is a very nice radio. I liked the looks of the yaesu, but just had to try this one. I do enjoy contesting, so guess this was a logical choice for me. To bad you cant stick the 7610 into the Ft3000 box.....Thanks again Dave!!!..W0AES
I have a icom 7610 on its way.....Thank you for the you tube info its a great help....
Bardzo dziękuję za ten film i jak zapowiadasz, następne. Film zrobiłeś już jakiś czas temu ale temat dalej aktualny. Oczywiście łapka i sub. leci do Ciebie. 👍 Pozdrawiam 73 !
The 7600 are what dreams are made of. If only... the money, a location to set up adequate antennas, and the ability to play with it enough to actually use it to its full capability , or maybe my capability. Nice review.
Wow! That is two substantial handsful of radio(s)! I understand being competitive but, holy smoke(!), ......ah, well, to each his own! Those features will prove valuable to more than just contesters. 73 KC1MGW
Dave, the 7610 bandscope/waterfall will show 1 MHZ wide on its widest setting and in fact will do the 1 MHZ width one each receiver with the dual bandscope setting. So this will certainly cover all of MOST amateur bands and then some with the exception of the 10 meter and 6 meter bands. The width is adjustable from 2.5khz each side of the center to 500khz each side of center for a total bandwidth of 5khz to 1Mhz. 73 James K0UA
I think the Bluetooth claim might be associated with using a USB Bluetooth dongle which would allow you to use both a Bluetooth mouse and a Bluetooth keyboard using only a single front panel USB jack. I agree with you that claiming this a feature of the radio is a bit of a leap.
If you haven't already, I can hardly wait for you to review the Elecraft K4D.
If it's anything like the quality of this video, it will be awesome, cause this one is too.
Nuts, how many people can afford this, Dave. Sorry. Your are lucky to have the chance to try it.
How do you think this and the ftdx101 will cope when we are back at solar maximum, these seem geared up for getting low signals etc 73 Richard
Nice Video! I was wondering if you could do a review on the Yaesu FTdx101D at some point.
I'd love to. But I would need to get my hands on one. I understand they're wonderful radios.
And I thank brad too for helping the head oggie so he can make more videos :)
Hey Dave great vid, Im a new ham and just got my 7610 couple days ago. It really is a powerful machine. One question I do have is related to CW on SSB. I notice that there are people working CW on SSB but the radio wont send CW unless its in CW mode. Is there a setup for allowing it to send CW on ssb like obviously other people are.
I don't know. I'll have to check that out. My Yaesu FT DX 3000 will send CW while you're in your single sideband mode. I will look for that capability on the 7610.
Howdy Dave,
Well utube did it to me again!
I had nice 4 paragraph note going, then blurp, & it was gone! Which is a pain when single finger typing on a phone!!! Grrrr!
I would really like to see you do an in-depth on the diveristy & secondary (usb out) SDR operations. Thanks.
Bluetooth is a typo, but you can use an under $10 usb dongle to get BT!
Wait, so did you actually get a 7610? Photos please.
Just ordered the 7610 - SO EXCITED!!! Thanks for making this video. DE VY2MJ. 73.
I bought a dvi on one end and hdmi on the other end so can use a monitor with hdmi.
arent dvi-d and hdmi the same except the connector? passive dvi-d to hdmi adapters exist and are cheap as beans
HDMI has royalties for its use - so this saves Icom a few cents per radio so expect to see DVI-D on most radios if not all. Agreed with the adapters.
I have an adapter and will have to try it.
Dave you have some popping noise in your audio. Might be your mic connection was loose or causing it. Just something for you to check.
Yes. The popping noise is a defect in the wiring in the Sennheiser mic. Until I fix it, I will be using my Rode mic.
Does the IC 7610 have QSK or is it just semi-breakin? I never heard you say. Shoot - that's the very first thing I want to know about any rig because if it doesn't have QSK, I'm not interested. Thanks
I have owned the 7610 for a whole 3 days now. It does have full break in. Semi breakin full break in and off. Im a new ham and was trying to send with it off. lol Nobody could hear me, the radio is broke!!, lol
Thanks... Hey Ted Mac. Did you know you have a famous name? I remember when Brenda Lee appeared on "The Original Ted Mack Amateur Hour". She was 12 years old (which was also my age then) and when she was 16 she had her big hit and signature song, "I'm Sorry". It's still a great song.
rwprime1 didn’t know that. My mom always said I was special.
Thanks, say could you find an empty freq, crank up the CW speed to say 30 wpm, send some dits and tell me if you can hear static in between those dits? If you can, that's true QSK. A lot of manufacturers just 'say' they have QSK. It's nice. It's like talking on a 'real' phone where the conversation is two-way. Then, your bud or whoever can break you and get a fill that a crash took out and of course it stops a lot of doubling like on a CW traffic net or a CW group chat. Edit Ideally you want to hear CW in-between your five to seven dits. I don't know if you'll hear static. The best test is to be in QSO and have the guy break you with a couple of dits sent twice.
rwprime1 I’ll give it a try. Tho I’m struggling to copy 6 words a minute. These dudes who are exchanging cw at blazing speeds is amazing. Im just sitting there like, “I’m never gonna get there”. But I’ll try now on 40m cw. You wanna pick a freq and I’ll crank up the wpm
Buy 3 IC7300’s for the same money
Your video is barely up 2 minutes (shorter than the 21 minute length) and already has one thumbs-down. I think you have a troll! Fortunately, RUclips counts thumbs up and downs pretty much the same in its ranking algorithm. So they think they're hurting you, when they're actually helping you! de W3DJS (Patreon)
