FEATURES
••RF Direct Sampling System
The IC-7300 employs an RF direct sampling system. RF signals are directly converted to digital data and processed in the FPGA. This system is a leading technology marking an epoch in amateur radio.
••Real-Time Spectrum Scope
The spectrum scope is class-leading in resolution, sweep speed and dynamic range. When you touch the scope screen on the intended signal, the touched area is magnified. The large 4.3 inch color TFT touch LCD offers intuitive operation.
••New “IP+” Function
The new IP Plus function improves 3rd order intercept point (IP3) performance. When a weak signal is received adjacent to strong interference, the AD converter is optimized against signal distortion.
••Class Leading RMDR and Phase Noise
Characteristics
The RMDR is improved to about 97dB (typical value) and Phase Noise characteristics are also improved about 15dB (at 1 kHz frequency separation) compared to the IC-7200.
••A 4.3 inch touch screen color display
••A built-in automatic antenna tuner
••Multi-function control for easy settings

2 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Selecting a location
Select a location for the transceiver that allows adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold or vibrations, and other electromagnetic sources.
The transceiver has a stand for desktop use.
Stand
CAUTION: NEVER carry the transceiver by holding the stand, dials, controls and so on. This may damage them.
Front panel connection
Heat dissipation
••DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or put anything on top of the transceiver. This may block airflow and overheat the transceiver.
••NEVER install the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged. ••DO NOT touch the transceiver after transmitting
continuously for long periods of time. The transceiver may become hot.
Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the transceiver using the ground terminal [GND] on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to a long ground rod. Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could cause an explosion or electric shock.
