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 don't know that the TS-590 and FT-1200 are in the same class.
However, if the IC-7300 can pull off performance levels similar to the
TS-590S/TS-590SG it will be an outstanding "entry level" radio. Icom's
initial claims for phase noise look to be among some of the best of
any rig (close to that of the K3S/"new synthesizer") and I plan to look
very closely at the IC-7300 at Orlando this weekend to replace the old
IC-706mkIIg as my Icom CI-V "test subject."

I suspect that compared to the K3s, the IC-7300 will fall short in terms of
dynamic range, QSK, etc.

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. All this for under $1500 street. I wonder how it
will compare to the K3 in performance.
I am not looking to get an argument going on this - just stating what is
out there on the horizon. Who knows, it could turnout to be hangar queen or
a frequent flyer on UPS. That said, it sure looks like a lot of rig for the
buck.
