[CTSARA] ICOM IC-7300

[Steve Dick]

See detailed review at: http://www.ab4oj.com/icom/ic7300/7300notes.pdf
It's one of the best rigs on the market for the price
-  built-in good quality large panadapter with touch panel
- built-in antenna tuner
- Good receiver performance for the price. Rob Sherwood of Sherwood 
Engineering rates it above the TS590SG and the Flex 3000 though he says "How 
to rank direct-sampling SDR radios is a real can of worms."
- many features
- Many many positive reviews.

The main negatives I have heard about:
- The built-in antenna tuner has limited matching range.
- if you are a CW op and like to use QSK, the T/R relay is very noisy if you 
don't use headphones.  Some ops have significantly improved this by covering 
the relay (easy to get to) with coax seal, but this would void the warranty.
- some have complained about noisy fan and fan turn-on when you start 
transmitting

Gess Girard has one.

Good morning,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the new ICOM IC-7300 HF
Rig?
I've been looking at this radio and I am thinking of buying one.
