[TenTec] Scads of used Icom IC-7300

[Carl Moreschi]

If you going to run in a contest, what you do it hook up a contest 
program to the radio and then just run it like any other radio.

I'm a DX'er and as with all radios I use, I interface my N4PY software 
with the radio.  This gives me the same user interface no matter what 
radio I am using.

I love all the panadapter displays.  I can see what is going on on 3 
other bands besides the one I'm on.  I always have one panadapter 
dedicated to 6 meters to watch for openings there.  I worked CY9C on 6 
because of that.
