I've been closely following the IC-7300 news because I'm a big fan of direct sampling receivers. It's still too early to tell how well Icom will pull it off. I really don't see it as being K3s competition, a more apt comparison being TS-590 and FT-1200. Icom has been quite clear that this will be an entry level radio only.
I suspect that compared to the K3s, the IC-7300 will fall short in terms of dynamic range, QSK, etc. 73, Barry N1EU On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 10:16 AM, Bill <w2...@nycap.rr.com> wrote: > Icom is about to release their IC-7300 with rx from .03 to 74.8 mHz, with > a live display, auto tuner, 100 Watts, 15 included bandpass filters, and a > direct sampling receiver.
