As a follow up it's interesting to speculate where 
this Icom-7300 would end up on the Sherwood chart. 
And how would it prevail in a strong-signal 
environment, like Field Day or an urban area like 
the one I'm in? Based on what I've seen it will be 
OK for casual operating and SDR "dabbling", but 
not for serious operators who contest, work DX or 
want to play at Field Day. For those uses the 
K3/K3S will blow it away.

In fact, given the KX3 design, I wonder how it and 
the Icom-7300 will stack up against one another.

It will be interesting to see some IC-7300 numbers 
-- including the price!
