I currently own a Kenwood TS-430S and an Icom 718. I am a casual operator and my main interest is DX, WAS, collecting QSL cards etc. I am not a contester and work SSB, eventually I might learn CW. and explore AM. I use the TS430s as my QTH station and the Icom 718 for portable, field day etc. I am thinking about selling both radios and getting the new Icom 7300. this would make it my only HF rig. There is nothing wrong with the radios I have, my main reason for wanting to do this is the more modern tech in the 7300, band scope, touch screen, etc. it just looks like a really fun rig to operate. Does this sound like a good idea or should I just be satisfied with what I have? I just wanted some opinions on this idea, as maybe there are some things I haven't thought about in doing this.
