Icom does it again!

 

IC-7300MK2

For those Icom fans out there, the company has announced that (hopefully) by the end of 2025, a new IC- 7300 now called the IC-7300MK2. Those who already have the IC-7300, and there are many of those you may be interested in the upgrades done. There is a CW decoder, an HDMI port for an external monitor, RX antenna in/out, improved RMDR (reciprocle mixing dynamic range click HERE for more info), LAN Ethernet port for remote operation, and the USB port is now a USB-C port. I am not sure about the price point on this radio, but for sure more than the IC-7300. I wonder in the new year if we will see lots of IC-7300 coming on the market? Also, if you have been holding off on a new Ic-7300, you may find some nice discounts to move the radios off the shelf and make room for the MK2. 

Looking at the back

 Let me know your thoughts on the rig and if you have heard any other news. Are you going to pick one up and maybe sell your IC-7300 to gather some needed ham bucks?
