Ham Talk Live! Episode 99 - Receiver Comparisons with the IC-7610 with Rob Sherwood, NC0B

It was last week when this was posted. Yes, you can listen to the archive. Instructions are in the post!

 

Please explain the purpose of comparing a 7610 to a 7300. Waste of time and energy. They are not the same class, will never be. If a 7300 rec is as good as a 7610 better off to by 2 7300s instead of a 7610 and save a bunch.

 

7300 is a very nice unit. I didnt like the fit or feel of the 7610 when I played with it. There are some noted bugs on the internet about the 7610, but I am sure they will get those figured out.

I may get one of these next year, when the firmware is solid. Having 2 sdr's in one unit, would be nice.

 

I see there has already been a price drop of almost 400 bucks?
Hmm? What to read into that.

My guess is they are not flying off the shelves as Icom finds a price point that will cause them to sell like the 7300 did.
