Since its debut in January 2016, Icom’s IC-7300 HF Transceiver has sold over 100,000 units globally. More than half of these sales are the USA version, which complies with FCC regulations and primarily targets the North American market.
The IC-7300 introduced an innovative RF direct sampling system, a first for Icom’s amateur radios. RF signals are directly converted to digital data and processed in the FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array). This approach combines high performance with a simplified circuit design within a compact form factor. The integrated real-time spectrum scope and the waterfall function enhance receiver performance to increase QSO opportunities. These features were typically found in high-end models. The IC-7300 set the benchmark for performance and value and was warmly received by a diverse range of HF radio enthusiasts as the sales results show.
