Icom IC-7610 - Long Term Review 

Missed the notification! Great video on a reliable radio Jonathan mate, keep it up

Love the video Jon

Nice review Jonathan. Got me thinking now !

Thanks for this, Jonathan. The big selling-point for me is having two receivers, which allows rx diversity e.g. polarisation-diversity. 😃

Great video Jonathan. Fabulous radio. The best radio I've ever owned. 73, Jonathan.

Are you reading this Icom give Jonathan this radio, oh and if you can send one my way it would be appreciated. Thank You 😂 great review, looking to purchase one in the not to distant future.

Heard you on it last Friday night, and Saturday night i think, on 40m, i did shout you but only had 10w on my icom 703 portable but you were radio 5 nice audio into Southend (or just down the road) cheers, Paul G7JVB.

I have to agree with slight wobble on the two knobs, however, there has to be some travel to allow the switching function, i guess this doesn’t help. However the one push mute is excellent.. i seem to remember many Icoms used to use hide away knobs which also felt slightly wobbly… however, the fact that they could be hidden away meant they never received damage.. as a CW op. I find the radio really good as is the remote with SDRcontrol…All in all, very happy with it. Thanks for your review ☺️ Lastly, I have to mention Icom UK’s excellent support.

Owning both IC-7300 as well as the IC-7600 helped us come to the conclusion that the IC-7300 is the better option when it comes to value for money or even just simplicity of use, most of the money should be put on a GOOD antenna that help reject QRM from the very start, many hams fail here, putting their big money in radios and microphones yet still not being heard.Nevertheless if you suffer for money growing out of your trees than go for the very best that suit you, BUT don't ever try and save money on your antenna

Love the meters :)

Very good Jonathan The 7610 takes some beating 👍 You should get some commission from the dealers who will now be flooded with orders?😊 I wonder if there will be updates to the 7300 and 7610? Cheers Robert G3RCE

For what the 7610 costs, you can purchase three (3) IC-7300’s, and run each one on monobanders. The receiver specs between the two are negligible. So that’s what I did.

Jonathan I suffer high noise on 40M . In my experience the best work around is a rx only mag loop in the rx port. Even a cheap mla30+ should work quite nicely. Regards Matthew 2E0YMB

Yeay!

For that kind of money, it should have 200 watts, and a roofing filter. Once you have a roofing filter, you are spoiled and cant go back.

Lovely to find you on RU-vid Jonathan. I hope life is treating you since leaving ML&S. I recently went back to basics and bought a TS-590SG (from ML&S of course) - what an underrated radio if ever there was one. Thanks for the 7610 review! 73 Mike M0SAZ.

IC-7610 vs FTDX10 - the price/performance of the FTDX10 might be better.

probably a stunning radio but not applicable for me in any way (every day use? I wish lol) ,any chance of reviews on radios for compromised shacks or portable operations? I lot of us are stuck in flats and base stations are just a pipe dream, and are never going to happen.

iCOM to the Day I die 💯😍👍

Had it, sold it, no 4M.. went full SDR instead.

HI DER

thank you for not running it on the 11m band. so tired of hearing people brag about these icoms there. take care

Get rid of all the bells and whistles and crap nobody really needs and it would actually be affordable.
