Class-Leading Compact Radio Evolves to the Next Level!

 

Improved RMDR and Phase Noise Characteristics

The IC-7300MK2’s RMDR is improved to about 12 dB typical* and transmit Phase Noise characteristics are improved by about 12 dB* compared to RMDR (dB) 130 MDR IC-7300 IC-7300MK2 Phase Noise (dBc/Hz) -110 IC-7300 IC-7300MK2 TX Phase Noise the previous model. The superior Phase Noise characteristics reduce noise components in both receive and transmit signals. * 2 kHz separation at 14.2 MHz, MODE: CW, IF BW: 500 Hz. ■ What is RMDR 120 110 100 ypical -120 -130 -140 -150 –139 dBc/Hz (typical) at 1 kHz separation RMDR (Reciprocal Mixing Dynamic Range) is a key indicator of how much receiver sensitivity is degraded by strong nearby signals. A higher RMDR value means less blocking from adjacent signals. In general, lower LO phase noise results in better RMDR performance.

Power Saving and Lower Heat Generation for Longer Continuous Operation

Through component selection and DC power optimization, the IC-7300MK2 reduces heat generation and enables stable operation during extended operating periods, such as contest operation. Compared to the previous model, the IC-7300MK2 reduces power consumption from 0.9 A to 0.7 A (typical) during RX standby. Furthermore, the fan control has been improved, making fan noise much less noticeable.

HDMI™ Port for External Display

As a first for Icom’s HF/50 MHz radios, the IC-7300MK2 incorporates an HDMI™ port for external display connection. Operating information, such as frequency, scope, waterfall, and menus, can be shown on a large monitor, and audio can also be output through HDMI™ to the display’s speakers.

RX-ANT Connectors for BPF, Preamps and Receiving Antennas

The RX Antenna IN/OUT connectors enable you to take advantage of antenna characteristics for optimized reception, such as avoiding interference and QRN. External bandpass filters and preamps can also be connected to these connectors.

Simplified Remote Control for RS-BA1

Whether from a remote location within your home QTH, or from a remote location somewhere around the world, the RS-BA1 (Version 2) software enables you to operate your IC-7300MK2*. With the addition of an Ethernet connector, a base station computer is not required. Not only can you control the radio settings and display a spectrum scope with the waterfall, you are able to remotely turn the radio ON or OFF through the Internet. * RTTY and CW decode functions are not supported in the RS-BA1 Control Software

Built-in CW Decoder*

Another first for Icom’s HF/50 MHz radio, the IC-7300MK2 can decode Morse code signals without using a PC or other external equipment. The decode settings can be customized to suit various situations and needs, including decode key speed (AUTO, LOCK, KEYSPEED LINKED), decode filter (AUTO, FIX), and threshold (AUTO, MANUAL). * Decoding accuracy may vary depending on receiving conditions.

USB Type-C™ Port with Dual COM + Audio

The IC-7300MK2 provides a USB Type-C™ port with dual virtual COM ports and audio IN/OUT. You can use two applications simultaneously, such as FT8, logging and contest software, with just one USB cable*. * *CW decode output to the USB port is not supported.

APF (Audio Peak Filter) for CW Signals

The APF improves CW reception by emphasizing a specific audio frequency, making it easier to zero in on a desired signal. The APF level is adjustable from 0 to 6 dB in 1 dB steps.

Real-Time Spectrum Scope

Equipped with a real-time spectrum scope, the IC-7300MK2 delivers sophisticated operation through intuitive touch control with advanced specifications, including resolution, sweep speed, and dynamic range. While listening to received audio, you can check for clear frequencies, monitor band conditions, and quickly access target signals with simple touch operation.

High-Resolution Waterfall Function

The combination of the waterfall function and the real-time spectrum scope assists in maximum receive performance of the IC-7300MK2, and increases QSO opportunities without missing weak signals. The waterfall function shows a change of signal strength over a period of time, and allows you to find weak signals that may not be apparent on the spectrum scope.

Audio Scope Function

The audio scope function can be used to observe various AF characteristics such as microphone compressor level, filter width, notch filter width and keying waveform in the CW mode. Either the transmit or receive audio can be displayed on the FFT scope with the waterfall function and the oscilloscope.

Advanced "IP+" Technology The “IP+” function significantly enhances intermodulation distortion (IMD) performance. When you receive strong interference adjacent to your intended signal, it intelligently optimizes the AD converter to minimize signal distortion and ensure clean reception.

Advanced RF Direct Sampling

The IC-7300MK2 utilizes RF direct sampling technology that directly converts RF signals to digital data and processes them within an advanced Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). This innovative approach dramatically simplifies circuit architecture while delivering exceptional performance that sets new standards in amateur radio.

15 High-Performance Discrete Bandpass Filters

Incorporating 15 discrete RF bandpass filters with high-Q factor coils, the IC-7300MK2 delivers exceptional out-of-band interference suppression, comparable to premium-class transceivers.

Built-in Automatic Antenna Tuner

A built-in automatic antenna tuner recalls optimal settings in its memory for rapid band switching. The Enforced Tuning function* enables operation with a wide range of non-resonant antennas, providing emergency communication capability. *Do not use the Enforced Tuning function except in case of an emergency. Transmission power may be reduced.

Multi-Dial Knob for Enhanced Operation

The large 4.3 inch color IPS touch LCD offers intuitive operation. Using the software keypad of the touch screen, you can easily set various functions, and edit memory contents.

Large Touch Screen Color IPS LCD

The new “IP+” function improves 3rd order intercept point (IP3) performance. When a weak signal is received adjacent to strong interference, the AD converter is optimized against signal distortion.

One-Touch FT8 Mode Preset

Experience simplified FT8 operation with one-touch preset switching. Simply select [FT8] from the preset menu to automatically configure all necessary settings, or choose [Normal] to instantly return to conventional operation. Presets 3 to 5 are user-programmable, ensuring compatibility with future digital modes.

Superior Sound Quality

A high-performance speaker unit with large magnet is housed in dedicated acoustic space for exceptional clarity, and minimal distortion, at any volume.

SD Memory Card Slot for Data Storage

The IC-7300MK2 stores various data on SD cards, including communication recordings, voice memories, RTTY decode logs, and screen captures. Personal settings can also be saved, enabling instant configuration switching between operators with a simple card exchange.
