I have had my license for a few years and purchased an icom 7300. 

I have tried a super antenna, an end fed wire antenna, and now a vertical buddipole antenna

I can not pick up any stations or transmissions. 

I have watched hundreds of you tube videos.

I have been to classes.

I cant even pick up the 10.000.00 signal.

Maybe I goofed up the radio and it just can pick up signals. 

I even reset it back to factory standards thinking I set something wrong. 

Is there a way to setup the radio so that I can be sure it is working?
