The idea of a rig that on it’s own would not work did not appeal to me. There were many interconnecting cables to multiple boxes to produce even just 10w of output.

Specifically how good a sound card the PC had attached to it was. I had used a friends SDR rig while in Australia and the receiver performance had impressed me, however how good an SDR radio was depended upon how good the PC it was attached to was.

When I looked at ICOM five years ago, I saw what were, in my opinion, rigs that were too expensive compared to Yaesu or Kenwood.įive years have passed and I am now back in Europe and finding that I operate nearly all the time on the HF bands and that the over 15 year old design of the TS-2000’s receiver is nowhere near as sensitive as more modern rigs, especially when trying to receive QRP stations on bands full of QRO stations. When operating in the UK many years earlier I had bought three ICOM rigs as they were good value at the time compared to other makes. I had also considered the Yaesu FT857D but decided on the larger, easier to read TS-2000 layout. This meant that I was able to consider operating on the HF bands as well as the VHF bands.Īfter looking around at rigs, I decided to buy an 18 month old Kenwood TS-2000 “shack in a box” from an Australian dealer. I was based in Australia and came back to find my Class B UK licence, RAE exam pass certificate qualified me for a full licence as no Morse test was needed any longer. As is the case with all equipment described on ICQPodcast we buy the equipment outright and reserve the right to give our honest opinion of the equipment, without having to consider how a dealer might feel about a review.Ībout five years ago, I returned to the Amateur Radio hobby, having been away from it for over 35 years. I bought this rig myself, it was not supplied to me by ICOM or an ICOM dealer to review. My review is about how and why I chose to buy this rig and what my initial thoughts about it are. Simply search in your favourite search engine for IC-7300. This audio review cannot show you the rig and all of its features however there are many videos and technical documents on the Internet that can.
