I have had my Icom IC-7600 for 3 months. Over that time I have had nothing but good reports from any I have spoken to including DX copies into Spain and USA. I find the rig has excellent filters,is very easy to use and I could not be happier with my ourchase. In a nut shell it is a beutiful easy to use rig and responds well with my Al-811 amp.

I am dissaponted in one way I can change between my Icom IC-7400 and nobody has been able to pick the differance in audio but the 7600 is a far better radio recieve wise.

Replacement for ProIII (more)

Just a followup on my USB statement...
It depends on the application you use.
HRD writes its own drivers so it worked fine.
Applications that use Microsofts MSCOMM interface will fail!
DX Labs Launcher (for example) will fail if the rig is turned off before the application is closed.
Microham's Router will also fail under the same condition so use their USB interface not Icoms.

Another Great Icom Radio

I also replaced my ProIII with a 7600 and I am very happy with it. The receiver is noticeably better in SSB and CW and the built in tools like DSP, Roofing filter, NR and NB are vastly superior.
I had no problem using the USB port and it interfaced seamlessly with HRD and Icoms RSBA1 remote software. About the only fault I can find with this Rig is that some of the knobs are not as durable as the Pro3 but it is very close, the main exception being the Tuning knob which is a lot smoother and better on the 7600.

Replacement for ProIII

Replaced my PRO3 with this rig. Also have an IC-7000. The IC-7600 is a great rig. Integrated into my shack with Microham interfaces and a PW-1. Ecexellent performance.

Only issue is that the USB port is a disaster. Had to disconnect it. Because of being unpower byu the computer it caused applications using it to fail if the rig was turned off out of sequence and disrupted other interfaces on the Bus. I couldn't believe that they finally provided an alternative to the CIV and then blew it! Shame on Icom.

CONTEST WINNING PERFORMANCE !

Bought my IC7600 last year. Spectrum Scope Display is just BRILLIANT!

It has the most amazing receiver and brilliant sounding transmit audio right out of the box.

It outperforms every other radio I have owned.

The user control over RX and TX filtering is incredible.

I use mine interfaced with Ham Radio Delux using a single USB cable (plug n play) and remote control into it effortlessly with my Android phone. I can work DX with my IC7600 from anywhere in the world, remotely via internet or right in front of it.

I have used this radio recently in the CQWW SSB Contest 2011 and scored 1st in Oceania and VK with 581400 points running just 100w out of this radio!

If you are considering which radio to spend your money on, this sweet transceiver will not disappoint you!
