- Opening and making a QSO with the new ICOM IC-7610 from DX Engineering in Tallmadge Ohio to Grass Valley, California. Tim Duffy, K3LR using the IC-7610 talks with James Heath, W6LG on 20 meters. N8DXE is the DX Engineering Employees Radio Club call sign.
Jim is always a great guy to chat with!!
4 years on I finally got the $$$ to buy mine,,, still a few days until it arrives but looking fwd to it after using my IC 7300 for a year. Beaut video Tim!!!
Tim K3LR is a great operator and modeled A-1 operating procedures for any ham to model. The radio looks very FB also.
Where can we find these procedures?
"Lusting" is about the right word to describe "muh feels" when looking at this radio. And considering the price tag, the buyer's remorse has got to be exquisitely painful too. You gotta love this hobby.
Jim sounded great on his K3 to your 7610.
Hey Randy, Love your channel. I've learned so much about Ham Radio from you. I just wanted to pop in and say that the last 2 or 3 times I have been to DXE I have tuned around with this rig, and it always sounds amazing. More the reason for me to upgrade from a technician ticket. So I can buy a nice HF radio and get chewing. To you and the N8DXE group, 73's DE KD8RWX.
After you upgrade, you need at 7610
One day I'll make that much. For now I dream.
Recently heard W6LG isn’t well… praying for him.
Great looking station there at DXEngineering Tim.Radio looks and sounds great.
Thank you, Ronald!
Hi Tim,
Caught part of this QSO from Jim's channel. His KX3's audio, as heard on the IC-7610, is superb. Nice setup for the emplyees. 73 WB3BJU
Thank you, Donald!
Lucky me for Christmas. I won a 7610 from the Frankford Radio Club this week. Listening to the video, I might actually start liking SSB again K2LNS
I will have a 7610 on the shack desk one day (yes... I'm a late adopter). Mostly because of this video. You can quote me on that. ;-)
I would be curious to know the settings they settled in on for the PR40.
True, Jim Sounds great , specially on 2.4k. Great rig the IC-7610 BUT maybe Jim sounds that good because of the receiver and the filters in the Icom ;-) 73 Jo. PA9JO
Yup, this is going to be my next purchase upgrade, looking forward to having a radio that is less than 10 years old,(hihi) however I cant complain with my Yaesu 920, she has been a great radio. Thanks for the demo, I will be calling you soon...(hopefully) ;-) 73 from NQ0A.... BTW, this should be a great match with my DXE Hex Beam...and other antennas of course.
Yep, I'm drooling over this one !
This is one of the candidate rigs for my ham station.
This radio is very capable, and worth the money. However, when the 7300 cam out I was close to buying it, but experience clicked in and I waited and purchased the radio for 1k new, with rebates and Christmas specials. And with a free Heli mike and cable. Can’t beat patience. So I have a radio with a much higher hardware model and because of time, the software is much more mature. I’m planning the same thing with the 7610, by the time I have it the bugs will be normalized and it will be $2900 or less guaranteed.
Great radio. Good overview. Why the thumbs down by some ? It's a review !!! How stupid
It is a great radio just like my IC-7300 but with extra nice features...great input Jim, 73 KN4LRN
That mike is a pr-40
Sir is there a microphone audio processor you got on the left side of your radio
I notice the scope freezing when you transmit and my 7300 doesn't do that. So is this the way the scope om the 7610 operates or that just a setting that could make it live both transmit and receive ?
You lost me when you said the great state of California lol. But I would like to know what monitor it is that you’re using? I noticed some guys with their monitors they’re getting borders on the top and bottom.
poor pr40 .. called as 781 :(
revadan lol, I’m still laughing!
What is the small black box with a color screen to the left of the IC-7610, in front of the external speaker and above the computer keyboard?
That is the control head for the ACom amplifier. I'm unsure of the exact model.
Hey describe the station setup... i like that little "mixer"..
Is this a SDR or do you have to download software for this?
The 7610 is an SDR radio and has it's software internal. Updates (as they are released by ICOM) are installed by the customer using either a thumb drive or SD card.
DXEngineering good I'm not going to get the 7300 I'll go for the 7610 because I have a 7600 and it's a great radio
you were using a PA behind it?
Good video. I’ve ordered mine! I like that acrylic sign with you call sign too. Where’d you get it?
We got that nice lighted callsign from Projectgm.com
purrfect! thank you
The 7610 would be much more desirable to me if you didn’t need to touch the screen.I find it to be a Big takeaway for the 7610.
So we can pick up a ham radio for our house and a supercharger for our car there?
That is correct! Two of the best hobbies share one location!
Ps, Great video Tim!
I guess I need a bigger piggy bank.
But it's 3x the cost of a 7300.
いいですね！
Pena que não sei inglês ...amo radio e uma estação destas eu nem dormiria de noite kkkkk
no te preocupes, ellos no han diciendo algo de importancia..
he said.. alas I don't understand Enlish.. I love radio and something about sleeping at night... I said.. don't worry, they didn't say anything of importance.
Still like my Flex 6500 better ! Sorry nice try Icom . But hey Can't wait to see the new IC9700
a thinkly vieled "non-commercial" use of ham radio.
Dear friends DX Engineering
I consult that is the
equipment that shows the mic modulation
to the left side of the radio next to the pc keyboard
Atte
ce3rkw
That is the control unit for the ACOM amplifier
Thank you very much for respoder
have a nice day
If anyone has ever seen Jims station? You could use a pile of crap radio and Jims station would sound amazing 73s Jim PS im working on building my station to amazement! DE Eric no call sorry no looking me up hihi.
Don't believe in breaks between overs. Very poor operation.
how can anyone break in then, thats the idea of it.....bad practice if you don`t...an emergencies might want to breat in.
@@thameswater2561 I hate when people go on and on without letting it drop.....just as bad on HF / simplex as on a repeater.
Maybe they don’t want to talk to you.
I don't see why anyone would want a radio that you must touch the screen? Much better having a button or knob so the adjustment can be done with them.When those screens need replacing or something on that screen stops functioning it will be a very costly repair & one most can not do themselves.Appears the companies are baiting people into this crap & they will need new gear because of repair cost or lack of parts down the road.It's a FACT that when they stop making any radio withing 5 years they also stop supporting them & you must seek repairs from someone other than them.No matter the company they all do it.Those bells & whistles will be become Nightmares down the road & the companies won't care after they have your money in their bank accounts.Only a complete fool would thing this crap will keep working for very long with prolonged use.In a few years that screen will look really bad but the replacement cost will loo much worse if you can even find one then.The microphone looks like a PR-40 to me?
If you don't want to touch the screen, just use CAT control with your computer if you are that paranoid. Touchscreen technology is pretty mature, millions of smart phones can't be too wrong.
Most people don't own a Smart Phone or any cell phone for nearly as long as Amateur Radios stay in use so that boat don't really float since it has not been tested for that long of a period so YES they CAN be WRONG.I don't care for any form of rig control other than Buttons & Knobs for any transceiver I would ever own.I'm not into digital modes & I have never owned a cell phone.I hate all telephones for the most part I try & avoid them when at all possible.Never saw why people think they are so needed other than most who ow them have No Life without one & it makes them feel Important? I have managed 57 years without the need for a cell phone & I think I'll make it the rest of the way without one as well just like a transceiver that requires touching the screen so it will operate I'm NOT in the need or want of any at any price even FREE.If someone offers me a FREE one maybe you can take them up on it & be happy & I'll be happy for you & me. {:>)
You might try a string and a tin can. I hear its even more reliable than tube radios, just kidding. Just because you personally don't like newer technology does not invalidate its usefulness. Yes, digital technology lends itself to shorter life spans primarily due to its rapid development cycle. The current crop of SDRs are quite remarkable for their small size, low power consumption and performance and they are the future, like it or not. There will always be those who want to play with older equipment and there are some advantages, such as fixability, ect..., if you can find the parts that is. I really enjoy my 30 year old CRT Tektronix oscilliscope, but if I have to go somewhere portable, I will be carrying my digital Rigol instead. There is a place for both. You just need to know where the best application is. 73s
you sir, are going to be left in the dust. I cant be the year 1955 forever.
10FGODSOWN isn't that far from being wrong about modern electronics. Most of it (maybe all?) is designed to be thrown away instead of repaired or maintained. I'm not sure if that is the price we must pay for the complexity and scope this type of equipment has - it does pack a lot of umph in a single box - but these newer gadgets and boat anchors won't be around anywhere near as long as the "old gear" was.
