The new Icom IC‑7300MK2 is the next-generation compact HF transceiver, revealed at the 2025 JARL Ham Fair in Tokyo. Building on the massive global success of the original IC‑7300, the MK2 version introduces performance and connectivity upgrades never before seen in this class.
Key Enhancements
- Improved RMDR and transmit phase noise for better adjacent signal rejection
- HDMI™ port — connect to an external display
- Built-in CW decoder — decode Morse without a computer
- USB Type‑C™ with dual virtual COM ports and audio
- LAN port for remote operation — no base PC required
- Dedicated RX antenna ports for filters and preamps
- Lower RX standby current (–23%) = cooler operation
- Supports newly allocated 5 MHz and 70 MHz bands (EU models)
