Re: Getting Old (hi hi)
Steve,
The IC-705 and 7300 do have the same screen, but the front on the 705 is smaller.
There is a lot to like about the 705 over the 7300.

Re: Getting Old (hi hi)
The IC-705 and the IC7300 has the same front.? Yes too bad they don't make a 100W amp for the IC-705 and other QRP rigs.? Yes there are two amps out there but there are nearly to cost of the IC-705

Re: Getting Old (hi hi)
Maybe an IC-705 with amplifier and tuner?
I have one on my bench in for a MARS mod and it is a nice rig, but I would want that 100 watt amp with a built in tuner.
I am not particularly into QRP and

Re: Getting Old (hi hi)
My wish is a 100w radio with a 705 type front panel and a remote chassis, similar to the 7100 form factor but updated!
I have a 7000 and 7100. The above dream machine could replace both for my

Re: Getting Old (hi hi)
The cost difference with a color screen could be much greater than $5.00.
When Icom is designing a radio they can't just select whatever the latest
LCD is available on the market for cheap. They have

Re: Getting Old (hi hi)
Today I don't think that there would be $ 5.00 difference in the color display and the monochrome and that would be offset by the sales, easily.
Also it would be great if there were something like a

Re: Getting Old (hi hi)
That's a really good point--why no current color display similar to the 7000?? That display, IMHO, is what made a good radio a really cool radio.??

Re: Getting Old (hi hi)
If they just made the IC-7100 with a color display!.
I kinda like the sloping front on the desk and it can work mobile, but that has to be thought out a little more.
I had three IC-7000s and loved

Sure would be nice if Icom would revisit this platform (IC7000) with upgraded circuitry to accommodate replacement replacement parts for the ones no longer availability.

Re: Getting Old (hi hi)
It’s been worth it.
I have a 7000, if I don’t use it for a month, I have to get out the book.
Ran the 705 for six months before the amp.
Worked a bunch on 10 watts, even ‘dx pile-ups.

Re: Getting Old (hi hi)
The IC-705 would need a 100-200 watt amplifier and manufacturers don't want to make them.
Yes they do…
Works just fine. 4 watts of drive from the 705, 100 out.

Yes,? Same result.? No problems with my 7300, 9700 or 756 Pro-III. The odd control head for the 7100 has kept me at bay.???

I guess we all have to realize, our beloved '7000 radios are getting old (hi hi) and nothing lasts forever. Since Icom has discontinued the radio (sad), they cannot be replaced, so we all do our best
