Nice upgrade from the first 7300
Review by
Bryan N.
I was going to get the 7610-32, but I didn't want to wait for it since it is on back order. I received this fine radio two days ago and I really am enjoying it. Icom really could have done a better job with the HDMI port though. 1280X720 is the highest you can set it. 1920X1080 would have been ideal. I am not going to judge Icom too harshly. I am giving this 5 stars because of all of the other improvements like the Ethernet port. I don't plan on using the remote functions, but I do like the way the radio connects to a time server. I didn't even have to set the time and date. That sounds trivial, but all of these extra bells and whistles add up. I was told that the audio is crisper and cleaner than it was on my other 7300. I honestly don't know if that was just the ham's imagination or not. He is the only one that told me that so far. It does seem to run cooler though. My other 7300 was luke warm when just receiving and this radio seems to be slightly cooler. I don't have them side by side to compare them. I am glad I got it though. It is a nice little upgrade for sure.

Love the IC-7300MKII
Review by
Great radio, fast shipping
Waited for the sale and pulled the trigger on the new Icom 7300 MKII. So glad I did. Gigaparts shipped quickly and the radio package arrived in great shape. Unboxed, set-up, and got on the air quickly. Radio is intuitive to use and the basic manual helps get you up and going quickly. What a joy to use! As I'm upgrading from a G90, love the filtering and noise reduction as well as the USB-C straight to computer for FT-8. It's so easy to switch set-ups to FT-8 to SSB with this unit. So impressed! I can't wait to get into using the memory functionality, memopad, as well as the scan features!

I love this radio!

I've been using a Yaesu HF rig but I'm always getting lost in the menus. After trying an Icom IC 7300 Mk2, I'm sold on their menu system. It's so much more intuitive and easier for me to understand. You can't go wrong with this radio. Got it on a weekend special and snagged a 10 year warranty. Super fast shipping from Gigaparts. Overall it was a great buying experience for a great radio.

Love my new Icom 7600MKII
Review by
Bob
The Icom 7300 is a great radio, I enjoy mine, have owned it for almost ten years. Icom listened to its customers, the new Icom 7300MK2 has a number of improvements and new features, the fan is very quiet, receiver dynamics improved, network connectivity, dual USB-C ports, APF filter for CW, CW decoder, LCD display is sharper, more black level, better contrast. Got a great deal from Gigaparts, I have been a customer for well over ten years.

Great Radio
Review by
Robert-K4VL
After being a ham for over 30 years I finally bought a brand new radio and WOW! I receiver is awesome and I get lots of great audio reports. The USB C port is a great feature. I really like being able to connect to two different softwares at the same time.
Great radio, I’m glad I made this purchase.

Nice upgrade from 7300
Review by
Gman
Upgraded because of better overall DSP which became obvious on first POTA OP with tjis radio. I also run on battery when on an OP and the less standby current draw makes a difference over a few hours. radio seems to havea quieter fan which is nice as well. Not sure how much I will be using the HDMI but will be nice if needed. The USB C connection with multiple outputs for control and audio work nicely. One wish would have the radio use WIFI. I do plan on using the the ethernet connection for remote use as well. Just wish Icom would add the digital mode to the RS software.

WOODY
Recently got the Icom MK2. It is a fantastic radio. Love it. The menus are easy to understand and are laid out well. If you are considering your first radio or adding to your collection you can't go wrong with this one. Excellent choice.

IC-7300MK2 is a massive improvement to the already time-tested IC-7300. It's worth the extra $$$
Review by

I've had this radio for about two weeks and I cannot stop extolling its superlatives. I bought from GigaParts in the afternoon and the radio arrived the next day; pretty fast for the "free shipping" option (most retailers would send it USPS Parcel Post and you'd be lucky to get it in a month and all banged-up, but not GigaParts - they sent it FedEx Next Day Saturday. Kudos to them!). While the majority of the radio's basic functionality and interface is similar if not identical to the original, ten-year old 7300, I believe the external improvements are what make it such a notable release. In fact, if it wasn't for the absolute similarity in appearance, I'd be tempted, if I were Icom, to make it an entirely new radio model rather than a mark and mod. I digress; the presence of an HDMI port for an external monitor is a massive upgrade and the change of the obsolete and no-longer-used-by-anyone Micro USB jack to the ubiquitous and universally accepted USB-C jack are, by themselves, worth the price difference over the IC-7300. The novel addition of the two SMA jacks for sending low-power RF to an external device and for receiving a secondary antenna are proving themselves useful. I'm not aware of another radio at the same price point with the level of ingenuity and response to consumer desires as the IC-7300MK2. As far as performance, you don't need me to tell you that it performs as well as you would expect. An ungrounded, 130-ft long end-fed wire strung from house to flagpole was bringing in far distant contacts across the bands without much regard to the time of day. Once I get a permanent proper antenna I can only imagine the performance will get even better. Oh, the internal antenna tuner (it's really an antenna matcher, not a tuner) is fast and does a great job matching your current frequency as best as possible to the antenna; most time it can get very, very close to 1:1 with one or two cycles of it. Don't spend too much time dwelling on it. If you've got the means, get the IC-7300MK2. You will be happy with it.

Icom 7300MK
Review by
Don
Going from the Icom 7300 to the Icom 7300MK2 was super easy. The menus are set up nearly identical, and the learning curve was very short. This radio is easy to navigate the new features that it brings with it and everything that the 7300 had before. The receive quality is improved along with the new features such as USB-C and HDMI that bring more comfort to operating. Being able to use an external monitor with the HDMI was a big plus for me. Looking forward to moving more in the digital world with this rig. My backup 7300 will still get plenty of use in POTA activities but the 7300MK2 has found its new home on the desk in the ham shack. It's a great radio backed by great service from GigaParts.

Icom 7300MK2
Review by
rjt@tombleson.us
Recent addition to my corral of radios. Very pleased so far. It is the same but very much improved over the classic 7300. I am using the additional monitor plug n play and very enjoyable. I see things much more quickly and in better detail on the external display. I've tried the CW decoder. It is pretty good, but suffers from the malady all decoders do, including an operators difficulty in decoding bad CW. Poor timing on the send end is troublesome to overcome on the decode terminal. I am hoping it will improve my CW operations which are currently meager. Like many hams, I am senior in years, and hearing is an issue. I haven't tried the remote operation yet. But it appeals to me if and when I do, I won't need to leave my computer operating. This new radio has it's own server that will handle remote without the aid of a standby computer. I did purchase the MARS mod, but haven't used it other that to verify it is in the rig. Setup wasn't too troublesome. I did learn the hard way that one needs to change the CI-V address. Some digital software programs will not recognize the new rig, and I had to enter it as the IC-7300, not the IC-7300MK2. That may change with updates on the digital software.
All in all, my classic IC-7300 will now be used as a back up, or perhaps in another location.
Thank you to Icom for another great product. Gigaparts continues to be one of my "goto" stores!
