A 14 volt battery with reasonable capacity instead of the 7.2 volt handheld battery would negate the need for an external carry around battery for 10 watt operation. Inbuilt tuner wouldn't be that difficult with that size case either and that would be then able to compete with the Elecraft KX series
I’m planning on taking my test the first of the year (2021). Would this be a good first radio and something to grow into? I really like the waterfall and the touch screen. What do y’all think?
depends on what you want to do. in general, QRP can be discouraging for those just starting out, and you're likely to get more satisfaction out of the 7300. if you absolutely need to be small and portable, this does the trick. either way, ANTENNA, ANTENNA, ANTENNA!!!
0:38, and especially 0:48 - Icom, and the 3 of you in the video, please know that to some viewers (e.g. me), this bit looks bad -- maybe you'd think so too, by now, I don't know, but even in July of 2020, I'd have been disgusted by the blatant disregard for CoViD safety. Please do better in the future. If you couldn't be stopped, y'all could at least have been socially responsible and worn masks. (P.S. And given 2:01, you don't have the excuse of not knowing.)
Where could I get one of those QRP Crew tshirts like you are wearing?
Awesome and an amazing unit!

Wow time stamps and everything. Does the room clear out every time you make an appearance?
@@ChatGPT1111 Not as much as the country thinned out because of Covidiocy. :-P
And, we now know the masks did nothing to protect us!
