E1687: Parks on the Air with the New IC-7300MK2

Join me for my first Parks on the Air (POTA) activation using the brand-new ICOM IC-7300MK2 HF transceiver! 📻This 2025 upgrade delivers killer features like improved RMDR (105 dB), HDMI external display output, built-in CW decoder, and lower power draw—perfect for portable ops. Watch as I set up in the park, chase contacts on HF bands, and test the MK2's real-world performance for QRP-style activations. From antenna deployment to pileup fun, see how this SDR beast handles POTA! Ideal for ham radio beginners and portable enthusiasts. Today's video is sponsored by ABR Coax - Made in the USA, get all of your coax needs at this link, and use code ABR10KC5HWB to save 10% - https://geni.us/yRfBoAPBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ham-radio-2-0--2042782/support.
