Episode 468: Re-Unboxing the Icom IC-7300 – IC-7300 Setup and Usage

Bykc5hwb October 10, 2020

This is an unboxing and first-look at and Icom IC-7300 that I did about 3 years ago. I took the important pieces from the video and condensed it down into a new video, along with a QSO that I made at the end. This radio is still a great choice for any HF Operator today so I wanted to re-share the video

Bykc5hwb May 11, 2016

The SamCom AP-400UV Handheld This radio is a new HT from China with a large display screen. It is a good little dual-band radio, and performs well, but other than that, it isn’t anything special.
