[Elecraft] Icom 7300 is available

[Ignacy]

IC-7300 may be a radio between IC-7100 or IC-7410. Its price probably will
fall to $1000 like of 7100. Ultimately direct SDR is less expensive
technology.

Regarding strong-signal handling, sometimes I set SDR-IQ (14 bit) as skimmer
in 160m contests. Despite zillions of strong signals, SDR-IQ finds DX buried
in noise that P3 barely can see. 

 $150 SDR-Play (0.1-2000MHz, 12 bit) shows capabilities and complexities of
SDR. It consist of wide bandpass filters followed by a conversion unit
followed by SDR machinery. One can choose zero or nonzero IFs.  On HF large
differences in strong-signal handling between the two. 2m reception better
than IC-7000. 

A competition keeps progress alive.
