I have had mine over a year or so and love it as well, ZERO problems !

Got a 7300 the other day. Already a favorite. I wish I had bought it sooner. Nice stuff for the money. Get you one.

I would really like to get my hands on the new 9700!.. I don't own a 7300 but it would be sweet to have a set of twins on the desk.. maybe one day. https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/rsv-ic-9700

Just got one of these, these are killer radios. Don't go by the youtube vids, half the idiots on youtube that have a 7300 don't even know how to tune in an SSB signal correctly. It's easy radio to use, stable, and built well. It's too bad the 7610 is a dog compared to this thing (much lower build quality on the 7610, loose knobs, and still some QC issues with that, sad, too because that radio also otherwise has a lot of promise... ).

love my 7300 over my kenwood ts 2000 and my yaesu 450d

One thing I'm noticing on this radio... stupidly good ears. With preamp on even some of the weaker signals will come in while I'm driving around and sound like they're not far away, etc. Unless I get lucky and the other guy has a low noise floor at his station, I end up in a situation where I can reliably hear somewhat further than I can
talk. Problem is as a trend vs 15 yrs ago or whenever it was when I had a serious mobile, many fixed/base stations seem to be facing a dramatically increased local noise challenges in terms of RFI generating devices in ones neighborhood...

Put mine back in its box. Using my 991A. I like it better.

Any specific reasons?

My current problem with yaesu gear is I sit in front of it for 5 minutes and am basically totally lost, I'd have to spend some serious time figuring stuff out.

That 991 though is one of the few radios that they have, from the outset, that I don't completely hate.

To me, it's got a better receiver. Once you learn on a Yaesu, the menu system becomes intuitive. I also control my via HRD, so it's not so bad to access menu stuff.

Well I just picked myself up a 7300 today.
Been wanting one of these for a bit now & a great deal came my way.

I have two of the 7300's .....
I have one on in my radio room in the house, and a second one on my radio bench in my shop/repair area.

the Superb Audio quality of the of the Yaesu FTdx3000 vs the Tin Can Audio of the ICOM 7300

Flame suit on:

Record again both radios from AF-out and post a movie. Than we can talk about audio quality
