This, there are a lot of old crusts and cliques anywhere and everywhere, you have to take the good with the bad and move on, it's not smart to assume that everyone is going to be that way. It's like with guns if you go to a fudd club, yeah, there are going to be fudds there, but theres...

This. It doesn't need to change because it really doesn't matter, those operating there don't care about the regs because they already know the unwritten rules, which is that if someone doesn't cause horrendous RFI or interfere with other services, enforcement is basically nonexistent...

How is this radio WRT intermod? In the past radios like the 2820H and others basically were like a barn door on the front end....

Honestly I think only made one or two contacts on VHF SSB on the thing. Most of the time in the northeast 2M/70cm SSB is a ghost town. -Mike

Thanks, this at least gives me something to go off of when I get the amp. -Mike

I like those radios but I wish they put the screen buttons on the left side... it's like having a car with a steering wheel on the wrong side, but I kinda know why they did it like that.... slightly faster access from the knob....

Looks like Yaesu finally made something that can compete with the 706, etc... only took them 20 years to do it... :ROFLMAO:

Sad because their stuff is generally built like a brick shithouse, but have seen other complaints about the quality of their metering or metering hardware, etc.

If you can shut the mains off and kill the noise consider yourself lucky, that means that its probably in your house and you can probably find it and fix it!

I had a 910H a few years ago, it was an OK radio, never had any TX problems, but curious why they didn't just make it 100W out on 2M and 440. I think they also should throw a duplexer into the radio with a switch or something, so that you have the choice of separate paths or one path...

I agree with sp5it, they did a decent job on my 7300, it's particularly useful there given the small size of the radio. It's a pretty easy system to master. My only gripe with icom right now is the 7610 build quality is kinda meh, the knobs rotate too freely, I realize that is sort of...

I usually use low power for local stuff unless needed, but when the bands open up... having extra juice on tap is generally a good thing. It makes life a lot easier. There's a big difference in that first thousand watts. -Mike

Anyone know where I have to tap into? Back in the day I used to have a tech that would do this for me for about 10 bucks an amp. Basically he'd drill a hole in the back, put an RCA jack on it, and then would tie the center pin to a leg of some transistor in the amp. This would make...

Just got one of these, these are killer radios. Don't go by the youtube vids, half the idiots on youtube that have a 7300 don't even know how to tune in an SSB signal correctly. It's easy radio to use, stable, and built well. It's too bad the 7610 is a dog compared to this thing...
