I was on your side but you're just too sensitive or have some kind of complex.
I do not disagree with that. I haven't used a 7300 so I don't have an opinion. All I can say is the ones I've heard sounded good.
What I meant by my original post is that there are some critics on this forum that will always have something negative to say. They don't mind telling you that you have a pos but if you buy something too nice or expensive they get jealous and call it a waste of money.
Obviously you don't know fact from BS since you believed that an 820 is a better transceiver than the 7300. Unless you own one all your comments seem like trolling.
I'm on vacation at the moment and can't wait to go home and play with my 7300.
Me troll? Nope in fact I tend to evict trolls from the forum.
There are different ways to judge a radio. Some like the bells and whistles. Some like the DSP filtering. Some like the ability to reject adjacent frequency in-band signals. Some like the IMD performance. I stand by saying that when subjected to strong adjacent frequency QRM the venerable 820 is a damn good receiver when it has a decent SSB filter like the YK-88S (2.4 KHz) or the YK-88SN (1.8 KHz). It also does not suffer from blocking (desense) on out-of-band signals like a lot of the newer rigs do. I base my statement on the basics of receiving that takes adjacent freq QRM, and strong signal handling ability along with decent sound. Can the 7300 dig a signal out of the noise better? Probably, if you start tweaking everything but for a general purpose radio on a crowded band with lots of signals a properly maintained 820 can hold it's ground. One problem is finding someone capable of properly maintaining a rig of that vintage.
Same.
And just think it comes with a high stability temperature-compensate crystal oscillator. On some transceivers this was/is an option that you have to buy. Also, it comes with a voice speech synthesizer. Again, not long ago this too was an option you had to buy. So yeah, I think it's a bargain too.

i need to get me a export radio like this. oh hell i got one its FCC approved ham radio.ill be dammed
I might put turbo echo in mine with a big, chome knob set sticking out of the side. I wish it would only key 1W and swing that 100W.
