[TenTec] Scads of used Icom IC-7300

[rick@dj0ip.de]

As does the 6700, but NOT the 6300.

As Jim pointed out, the biggest problem 'til now has been the UI, not the
radio's performance.
The Maestro has helped that quite a bit but it is not every man's cup of
tea.
Just ask Barry.

We need more radios like the MB-1.  Unfortunately I have not seen any
performance reports on it yet.

The nice thing is, all of these seem to have very clean transmitters.
That was perhaps a dangerous statement.  I meant clean as in not
broadcasting out of band noise.
I don't know about the keying spectrum of each of them.

My problem is simply the price.  You can almost buy a new compact car for
the price of a 6500 and Maestro here in Europe!

The 6500 does have band pass filters for the ham bands.
