This is the Beginner's Guide for the IC 7300. If you just got this radios and want to know how to use it in less than an hour? Then this is the video to watch. Below I have a table of contents to help you focus on the subject you want to learn. Through out my presentation, I give you some thoughts on how to use the RF and AF gain dials while changing the span and positioning of the frequency carrier line - this will help you focus on the signal you want to listen to. Good luck. -73
