I use it for the rare VHF/UHF work i do, and for HF CW. The only reason I STILL own it is because it "functions" well in all respects and is not in my way where I've set it up in the radio room. I bought mine while it was still under original warranty five years ago at the local hamfest. It has been worth every cent as a desk transceiver and expect it to be going strong for decades to come. Just a lovely radio to use and the limited band scope still provides good coverage when nothing like it was available on any similar radio at it's release! I wish Icom would provide a comprehensive Fan Control menu in all of their radios but I won't hold my breath! Just out of warranty and last one off the production line means power module issues averted. Chokes required to prevent RFI on control lines. TX audio is always highly regarded even on QRP.īeen a solid performer with no issues. External speaker and separate fan forced assisted cooling and an AB5N mic. It has made over 4,000+ DX QSO's with HRD control. Used since brand new (2015) with an Icom AH4 auto-tuner and a MFJ-1026 antenna 'diversity' phaser to eliminate QRM and a West Mountain Radio CLR/DSP to eliminate QRN to compliment the Icom's fabulous DSP module. }:>) "ICOM" as SWEET as it gets in ham radio gear.Īn awesome 'shack in a box' for its time! The same base features and format as the 7300 but in a smaller 'mil spec' mobile unit! Love my ICOM 7000 ALMOST as much as my ICOM 756 PROII.Only thing I like better about the PROII is the spectrum scope operation & the BIG rig size in the shack.The ICOM 7000 along with the LDG AT-7000 & Hustler mobile antennas area WINNER for my mobile setup & I can NOT imagine it getting any better.Keep up the GREAT work ICOM. Someone at ICOM is truly out of touch & possibly visually impaired if they could not see that they took a Giant step Backwards with the Display on the ICOM 7100.It's also NOT a Useless Touch Screen & that's worth the Used market price alone.Get you one & you will never be sorry.The ICOM 7000 is still KING & it's Good to be KING! Well I last reviewed the ICOM 7000 is 2008 & now in 2021 I have the Fourth one that I have owned.It's still in my opinion the BEST mobile Amateur Transceiver EVER produced.It's a joy to use & the only thing I see that ICOM could have done to make it better is add a True Band Scope & D-STAR & it would have been pretty much PERFECT & so much better than the excuse they now produce with that Ugly Monochrome Display.
