Icom 7300 Mini Scope And Spectrum Scope Explained

K0PIR

I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. On my YouTube channel I upload videos on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 along with Ham radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to try new things in Amateur Radio.

Hi Rich –

Enjoyed the mini scope video.

That raised a question – on page 5-3 of the “short” manual Touch Screen Operation is explained. Para. 3 explains that you can touch a portion of the band and the rig will change to that freq. I can make it do this – but for the life of me I can’t see much utility in it because I never get right on the spot i want. have you found any real benefit of this function?

Thanks, Wes AI 4FH.

Hi Rich –

Another question – a friend has a rig that – for working split – allows him to hear receive audio of one of the freq’s in one ear of his stereo headphones and the audio from the other freq in the other ear –
do you think there’s any way to do this on the 7300??

Thanks, Wes.

OK-I didn’t fill out the lower, so you probably didn’t get my question-here it goes,

On occasion, the noise baseline width seems to be amplitude modulated and it’s “width” varies at about 1-2 cycles per second. It happens with external power line impulse noise, and perhaps from the modulation peaks of a strong 1500 khz AM broadcast station nearby.
Is this normal? I tried to find a technical discussion of interference effects upon an SDR digital design with direct A to D conversion-but nothing found.

Thanks, I just received a note back from ICOM

Thank you for contacting Icom America.

Watched a video online on the “corderoy” effect. Based on that video the operation of the scope is typical of what will be displayed in really bad band conditions with high levels of interference and atmospheric noise.

Rich,
Icom went searching for the video. I think it’s this one, although I sometimes have more extreme effects in my setup. But, good to know the manufacturer says it’s normal for the 7300. I wonder about the 7610 software etc.??
