IC-7610 I can admit this was a mistake! 

Merry Christmas 4 yrs from then

I loved the video you made me laugh! I was looking for reasons not to buy that radio but I am going to get one and also the monitor with keyboard and mouse!

Finally someone else with my same interests! Ill definitely be listening for you on the air on my 7610 as well! Just subscribed

Thanks for the nice video...i had to laugh very loudly... it' was good that you got another tv set before you confiscated the one to your radio room. So there is a telly in the living room ;-) Conclusion, I have also decided on the TS 980..!!

Great drone shots of your antenna farm... amazing! Yes, the external monitors and the keyboard/mouse look like a great addition to the radio. Really enjoy your videos. Merry Christmas. 73

Keep them coming enjoy your videos 👍🎙🍺🤠

Thanks for flashing my QSL card in your video! de John NI0K

Well done sir! Great editing.

Wow! Is that all your land and antennas!!! I just have a small garden 40 feet x 40 feet in Scotland and use a long wire, though I will get a Yagi and a vertical back up in the summer of 2019. Seems so long away. Where I live it's a concrete jungle.

The thing you're missing about the resolution is the fact the band scope & waterfall doesn't provide better detail. Compared to the Apache Labs ANAN-100D on a large monitor, the Icom's poor 800x480 provides very little detail. We agree however that it is still a very useful feature for people with eyesight problems.

Oh how envious I am of your antenna farm :D. Thanks for sharing. M6VWM

Glad to find your channel. +1 Sub. I'm studying for my tech to test at the end of this month. Your homestead is beautiful!

Very professional video. Nice Place ! Thanks N1IME

left click on the qso you want to tune on and keep holding the left button down and you can slide the mouse left or right to tine it onto the desired frequency. Then you don't have to touch the rotary encoder that ICOM calls a VFO. 73 de WD5CBW E E

Thumbs up on the PSK-31.

I think this radio will be a part of my shack in about a year, when the price starts becoming realistic and firmware becomes mature. Icom likes to dribble out features. Hopefully they won’t abandon this radio like they have others in the past. Icom 9100 owners you know what I mean. Still not forgotten that Icom. 3 light firmware updates in the lifetime of a HF/VHF/UHF/SAT/DSTAR radio, really Icom? Thanks for the support on an over 3k radio at launch with documented bugs. Who knows how the other manufacturers will respond to this rollout, might windup with something else.

good videos - up beat and good intro/Outtro

Does the external monitor time out with the internal display. Or, is there a way you can run only the external monitor? Have you tested your external monitors for RFI vulnerably? Some monitors have more RFI problems. Dave KY0L

Nice location, Merry Christmas, kr Steve G0OGS

👍😊

Lovely drone shots. - I have to ask, if this was done during deep winter, how come you don't have at least thermal drapes on your window? Aside from keeping your hard earned heat inside and staving off the outside cold they help with acoustics. Just wondering an observation.

Nice Shack, very cool video!

So what was the mistake?

KE8ICT, I have an ICOM 7300. Can I connect a monitor like that? If yes, then how is it connected. Nice video!

Just subscribed...how u like that new Icom? I like the external screen also...happy new year. .Jim KB8YBG

you have to be a radio buff to like it, I made a massive aerial once for a friend, that could turn. He let me listen to his set up. Boring, whats the temp, hows you and your mrs, cq cq cq. like watching paint dry. I enjoy web chat more.

Well it appears the other guy does NOT know the difference between the band scope & the waterfall? His video was no help.He posted a new video after my question & he kept saying the waterfall was the band scope which I thought anyone who know what each is would know they are two totally different things? I ask him could he turn the waterfall OFF & leave the band scope & he never answered that question with his new video? He seems a bit confused to me if he does not know the difference? Maybe he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer?

Click baiting

800x600 isn't good. No offence. It just isn't. I'm happy if you're happy, but for me I want to see something far higher resolution.

Why not just buy a true sdr instead of buying the 7610. Lol....

That's a nice spread you have there. Belated Merry Christmas. That's the kind of place my wife says I would love. She is right. I loved this video.

When you live in New York City and just see high-rise apartment buildings and so far like that you have a appreciation I've seen a different view of things my man you live in God's country I love the antenna setup and the station you got there you keep up the good work your friend Mark here k2csx New York City also Conway South Carolina 73

Jack, what do you think about the state of Kalifornia dumping all the HAm operators??

Are those mechanical meters or just digital lookalike.

Apache Labs. Anan 7000/8000. Look, review, love.......

Great video as always Merry Christmas

Got my eye on that 7610. Keep making those really nice informative vids. 73 and God Bless from N2FJ

My RCA AR-88 is still the best receiver I'v ever heard and nothing to download.

My waterfall looks like yours. I can't figure out where the interference is coming from around here. Do you know what's causing the lines in your waterfall?

Tell me something I need to know. Do you like the radio? What don't you like about the radio. Is it worth the money? Should I "pull the trigger" ? I don't want to make a mistake. Let us know what you think

I bought the same radio 7610. Still exploring it and your video certainly helps a lot. Keep them coming. Happy New Year!

Your update is greatly appreciated. Great job, and well produced video. 8P6RC or VE3BEO

I just subscribed because I really enjoyed your video. I am thinking hard about getting into ham radio. I have been in emergency services for the last 33 years and a just retired. I also done radio repairs for a coupe of counties around me for years. I done all the E911 systems along with all the repeaters around on all the mountains around those counties.

Heading toward a Flex I see 73

Touch screen monitor!

Merry Christmas! Oh and please stop the click bait!

If you need a 50" monitor I think much better glasses would be much cheaper & make a hell of a lot more sense.The 7610 is a bunch of HYPE since it does very few things that my ICOM 7600 already does.Worst of all is it has that stupid touch screen which will forever keep it out of my possession.Another Flagship Station by the folks at ICOM that AGAIN does NOT include D-STAR even as an option? ICOM designers are so lost they must have their heads a long long way up somebody's butt? They push for D-STAR then they push for their newest Flagship Station yet they don't combine the two? Does that sound like a design team of developers that has a clue about the hobby on top of pushing the useless touch screen crap? They must have someone in the family with some excess touch screens they are attempting too dump on the amateur radio community? I can't wait till those screens start failing & not responding & when they are no longer under warranty & the screens are no longer available.Also remember that once ICOM moves on to the next big thing & stops making the 7610 it's not long before there no longer is ANY support from them as well.Same with the others in the Big 3 but just a reminder.I see these as becoming a nightmare & far from a dream down the road & Yes I have had Lasik Surgery so my vision in the distance is VERY VERY Good so remember that I told you do long before it happened.

Beware of monitor burn-in.
