Icoms answer to the KX3??
 
|
Howdy Fellow Elecrafters:
Saw something new from Icom called the IC7300. Looks like a direct conversion architecture ala the KX3 but larger in size, I believe. The KX3 might have been the first such multi-band design with front panel display, knobs. buttons, etc, similar to traditional superhet transceivers and it appears that Icom is following the lead. Would love to see the technical specs on this new rig. 73, Joe W2KJ KX3/KXPA100 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Based on Icom's published specs, by volume it is 7.5 times larger than the KX3.

When it comes to RF architecture, the IC-7300 is nothing like the KX3, it's actually a step ahead, because it's not a Direct Conversion, but a RF Direct sampling .
ICOM didn't follow Elecraft on this one. They rather follow FlexRadio, the russian Expert Electronics and the italian Elad amongst other. So many are going Down this road now, it's hard to tell who's first. The KX3 wasn't the first Direct Conversion SDR receiver with knobs either, there where several smaler manufactures just prior to the KX3.But KX3 might claim to be the first commersial success, but that is more to due to the strong Elecraft brand and the KX1 legassy than due to innovation.And, it's a good transceiver, so it deserves the success regardless of the RF architecture employed.

Yes, maybe the ADAT-200 designed by Hans HB9CBU was the very first such transceiver.

Not enough buttons on it for my CW-OP style. :-]
I hate drilling into a menu just to change cw speed. Right now I'm in love with my new K3s!! Love that CWT display for zeroing in on a station! For a CW op, it doesn't get much sweeter. It will take me a little while to take full advantage of all of its features.
