We are pleased to announce the new IC-7300, which was unveiled at Tokyo HamFair 2015 (August 22-23, 2015).

Here are some salient features:

• HF/6m, 100W output on all bands
  
• EU version: HF/6m/4m (50W on 4m)
  
• Modes: SSB (J3E), CW (A1A), RTTY (F1B), AM (A3E), FM (F3E)
• Direct-sampling SDR (software-defined radio) receiver architecture
• Receiver signal path: RF BPF - ADC - FPGA - DSP - DAC - AF stage
  
• Digital up-conversion (DUC) transmitter architecture*
  
• Transmitter signal path: Baseband amplifier - ADC - DSP - FPGA - DAC - IPA - HPA*
• ADC sampling rate: 124 megasamples/sec
  
• Improved phase noise performance due to low-noise ADC clock source
• Fully-digital FFT spectrum scope and digitally-generated screen image; FPGA drives image processor via digital bus
• Real-time, high-resolution spectrum scope includes waterfall
  
• Large colour TFT touch-screen display; screen selection via menu
• Frequency change by touching scope screen
• Multi-dial knob opens on-screen menus; menu items selected by touching screen
  
• Familiar Icom NR, NB, Twin PBT, DSP filtering and notch controls
• Built-in relay-type high-speed autotuner
  
• Rear-panel socket for AH-4 external autotuner
• Acoustically-baffled speaker for excellent receive sound
• Front-panel SD card slot
• Rear-panel USB port for CI-V and audio/baseband input/output

High Quality Real-time Spectrum Scope

Now, a serious spectrum scope is NOT a “privilege” of high-grade models. The highresolution real-time spectrum scope comes loaded with the IC-7300. Its real-time spectrum scope with waterfall function provides top-level performance in resolution, sweep speed and dynamic range.

Large Touch Screen Color TFT LCD

The IC-7300 has a large color TFT LCD and it can be used as a touch screen. This user-friendly interface provides intuitive operation. Using the software keypad of the touch screen, you can easily set various functions and edit memory contents.

Multi-dial Knob for Smooth Operation

When you push the multi-dial knob, menu items are shown on the right side of the display. You can select an item with a touch of the screen and adjust levels by turning the multi-dial knob. This combination of the multi-dial knob and touch screen offers quick and smooth operation.

Built-in Automatic Antenna Tuner

The high-speed automatic antenna tuner is built into a compact chassis (240 (W) x 238 (D) x 95 (h) mm; 9.45 x 9.37 x 3.74 in). You can easily carry the radio and enjoy field operation.

Easy-to-Hear Sound Quality

To offer optimum sound quality, a new speaker unit is employed and is allocated sufficient space in the aluminum die-cast chassis.
