ICOM IC-7000 Review


very nice, but all it did was confuse me all over again. which one do i get? if i do this i need this one , or if i get this i'll need this for it ...aaahhhhhhh. to many choices!!!!
 
Hey Ron I read that article last week, good review. He say it short but I thought it was a rather long review but, very insightful.
 
I still wamt one of those Yahoo 9000DX things with the map on the front. Except that the suckers are very heavy and bigger than my operating desk.

Have had mine 3 days now,and love it,lots of bells and whistles! Take s a bit to get the hang of all the sub menus,Gotta love that screen!!!
 
I went to HRO yesterday during lunch and got to play with the one they have there for a few minutes. All I have to say is WOW! That receiver is UNBELIEVABLE. The twin PBT works just as good as my Icom 746 Pro....the NB is now adjustable, as is the DSP Noise Reduction. If I needed a new radio and had some spare cash laying around, I sure would seriously consider this one. It appears to be heads and shoulders above my 706mkIIg

Moleculo,

How about the squelch on FM? That's one of the gripes I have with my 706's--it's too tight; either on or off. Pops in and out, in and out if you set it at the threshold, misses signals if you set it deep.

I hope to see them at Charlotte this March. I've heard good things about them. DSP on 706's sounds "pinched".

Yeah, that's a gripe I have about the 706 also. I didn't play with the 7000 on FM. But next time I'm there I will! :)
