Icom IC-705 Unboxing and Introduction
Channel: Ham Radio A2Z
Date: 10/11/2020

NOTICE:  In July 2021 the channel name changed from HamCuredSmoke 
To Ham Radio A2Z.  All of the earlier videos (like this one) are still available.


I was very excited to receive the box with the new 705.  I signed up on the pre-order list with DX Engineering at the beginning of the summer.  Unfortunately, between family and work commitments, I had the box sitting in the shack for nearly a month before I could take the time to open it and start checking out the radio.
I hope to make the time to start an A to Z series on this radio.  Except for the QRP output power, this radio effectively has all the features of the IC-7300 plus all the features of the IC-7100 and then a few more on top of that.  So there is definitely a lot of material to go through.
If you have an IC-705 or if you're thinking about getting one, I hope you can follow along and we can learn about it together.
