What bands does the Icom IC-7300 cover?

The Icom IC-7300 covers all major amateur radio High Frequency (HF) bands from 160 meters through 10 meters, plus the 50 MHz (6-meter) band, delivering up to 100 watts of RF output power.

Does the Icom IC-7300 have a built-in antenna tuner?

Yes, the IC-7300 features a fast, built-in automatic antenna tuner (ATU). It is designed to match antennas with a Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) of up to 3:1 on HF bands, and includes an "Enforced Tuning" mode for emergency operation on higher-SWR antennas.

What is the Yaesu equivalent to the Icom IC-7300?

The three primary Yaesu transceivers compared against the IC-7300 are: Yaesu FT-710: The most direct and modern competitor, featuring an updated SDR architecture. Yaesu FT-DX10: A higher-end hybrid SDR transceiver offering superior narrow-band receiver selectivity. Yaesu FT-991A: An all-in-one shack option that includes VHF and UHF coverage alongside HF.

Is there a successor to the Icom IC-7300?

Yes! The official successor is the Icom IC-7300MK2, which updates the original SDR platform with modern connectivity options (like built-in HDMI, USB-C, and native LAN for remote operation) while maintaining the intuitive touch-screen workflow.

Where are Icom radios manufactured?

All genuine Icom amateur radio equipment is designed and manufactured exclusively at Icom's production facilities in Japan, ensuring high standards of quality control.

How do I update the IC-7300 firmware, and where do I download it?

You can download official firmware updates directly from Icom's official support portal. To install, save the .dat file onto a formatted SD card, insert it into the radio, and go to MENU > SET > SD Card > Firmware Update.

What does "OVF" mean, and how do I fix a "deaf" or overloaded receiver?

OVF stands for "Overflow," meaning strong adjacent signals are overloading the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). To resolve OVF or clear receiver desensitization, press the RF/SQL control or enable the ATT (Attenuator)/lower the P.AMP (Preamp) setting until the indicator disappears.

What is the "GENE" button on the display?

Tapping "GENE" (short for General Coverage) allows you to tune freely across the entire HF spectrum (0.030–74.800 MHz) for shortwave listening, outside of standard ham band segments.

Why does the real-time clock reset on my IC-7300?

The IC-7300 uses an internal rechargeable battery/capacitor to power the clock module. If the radio is unplugged from its main power supply for extended periods, this cell drains. To recharge it, leave your 13.8V power supply connected to the radio (power switched off on the radio panel) for approximately 48–72 hours.

How do I stop RF feedback on my USB audio/CI-V line?

Because HF RF energy can couple onto external cabling during transmission, use a high-quality, double-shielded USB cable equipped with type-31 or type-43 ferrite chokes near both ends of the cable to eliminate digital audio drops or command resets.

How do I save and restore my custom settings?

Insert a formatted SD card (up to 32GB SDHC) into the front slot, then navigate to MENU > SET > SD Card > Save Setting to store your memory channels, display preferences, and filter configurations.

what's not to love

Review by A dream fulfilled

The 7300 is my 2nd HF radio as I wasn't even sure I was going to stick with the hobby. I had originally tested the waters with a Xiegu G90. It's a great little starter radio and good for POTA, but I wanted something more. There is something about that first HF contact that just hooks you and the G90 did just that. I've wanted one of these 7300's for quite some time, and with the new rebate it was finally in my reach. I've played around with other hams radios and I kept coming back to this one. It has just anough bells and whistles but not intimidating for a newcomer. The manual is well written unlike my G90 which this radio will replace. In short, "What's not to love?" I would highly recommend this radio to any ham at any level. It just works!!

Overall

Great Value and Fun to Use

Review by Norm

I'm an old ham getting back into the game after a 60+ year absence and found the IC-7300 an ideal "reentry vehicle." It is intuitive to use, but I highly recommend a guide such as "The radiotoday guide to the ICOM IC-7300" to speed up the learning process. I am starting out with an Intellitron Switcher PS for economy, but plan to change to a Linear later. The Intellitron DM-5300 desktop microphone offered by GigaParts fits seamlessly and comfortably into my operation.

Overall

Great value in POTA / Portable Rig + Easy to use!

Review by NT4AT

After deciding that sometimes I wanted more power for my portable operations, I investigated external amplifiers for my QRP rig. The most compatible and easiest to interface were the most expensive - and I'd be carrying 2 boxes and cables (to leave at home). So, with the rebates on the IC-7300, I thought I'd give it a try. I literally received the rig a couple of days before the Virginia QSO party. I live in a high rise condo on a lower floor - so no outdoor antennas - thus I couldn't operate the IC-7300 before the contest. I did use a dummy load to set the audio gain and ALC. But, the first ops were in the field. I was impressed with the ease of use - I was making QSOs on 20 meters within a couple of minutes of connecting the 40-10M EFHW antenna. The display is truly amazing - and easy to adjust for bright conditions. A 20 AH LiFePO4 batter was up to the task of running full power SSB for the day. I realize that I've just scratched the surface of the capabilities of this rig. For hams new to HF, or needing an easy to use rig - at a great price - this is a winner!

Overall

Waste of Money

Review by AJ7IZ

This transceiver is very disappointing. I usually operate QRP when I am out touring on my motorcycle, and chose the 7300 as the start of a shack for my house, and it turns out I wasted my money. After setting up my home station I ran comparisons with my mobile rig (a cheap X6100). When using the same antenna, my X6100 has a lower noise floor, and can receive signals the 7300 doesn't even know are there. The scope on my cheap chineese transceiver is not only more sensitive, it is also much easier to read. The only good thing I have to say about the 7300 is that the internal speaker seems to be decent.

Overall

great radio

Review by kq4znz

my first HF radio, I'm very happy with how easy and intuitive this radio functions. Lots of great features and i love the waterfall display, it makes it very easy to see where the action is without having to spin the dial thru all the bands. The touch screen feature is also very nice. I've made contacts in the Midwest already and am looking forward to my first DX

Overall

Fantastic Radio

Review by Bill

I just upgraded from my IC-718 to this IC-7300. What a difference. The touch screen with waterfall is an exciting new addition. Changing bands is a snap and the automatic tuner is a bonus. Overall, it is easy to use and the menu is intuitive. I especially like the three filter positions, adjustable width, and sharp or soft skirt options for filtering. If you get one you will not be disappointed.

Overall

Great radio

Review by Jeff KF0MPM

So simple and powerful. Between 6 months same as cash and 100.00 rebate, buy of the month! Brand new radio for the same price guys on EBAY selling used radios for same model.

Why Did I Wait So Long to Purchase It?

Review by John

Received my new 7300 just before Christmas and I've been using it everyday. I'm so glad I bought it. So easy to use and so many helpful features. FT8 is a breeze with this radio.

Overall

Easy to use HF radio.

Review by W4KG

Easy radio to use and program, This makes the 4th Icom in my radio room.
I have used it on a folded dipole, and a multi band dipole. noise reduction covers a wide range of QRN.
