Now that's super, Darrell!
I haven't used one yet, only looked at it at the ham fest in
Friedrichshafen.
I didn't see the manual notch.
It's beginning to look like the 7300 is the only radio left out there to
buy.
All others are for rock collectors or computer geeks! (hi)
The 7300 as with most of the SDR radios lacks decent bandpass filters on the
front end, making them a bit flaky here in Europe. For instance when on
20m, the filter only has 10 dB rejection of signals on the 40m band. Same
goes for the strong broadcast stations on the 41 and 49m bands. A
preselector will be a must on a large multi-band antenna.
But as I said, not much choice these days.

From page 43 of the Icom IC-7300 manual
(http://www.icomamerica.com/en/downloads/DownloadDocument.aspx?Document=787)
:
"The IC-7300 has Auto Notch and Manual Notch functions.
Auto Notch: Used in the SSB, AM and FM modes.
Manual Notch: Used in the SSB, CW, RTTY and AM modes."
How's things out in right field, Rick? :-)
