Thanks Matt for the heads up. I hadn't realised that Icom had released a new firmware update :0}

I'm just updating my IC7300 in 2023, so a little slow on doing this, however I appreciate your to the point presentation. A few years ago I had the Yaesu FT991 ( not the 991A ) and when Yaesu came out with new firmware for it, the CPU, the display, and something else had to be updated separately. You had to turn on the radio while pushing two extra buttons and for each update it was a different pair of buttons that needed to be pushed. If you pushed the wrong two buttons and then did the wrong firmware update you would lock-up the radio and only get a screen that had the Yaesu logo. Ask me how I know! Thankfully it was easy enough to redo the update and that fixed it so I didn't have to send the radio back to Yaesu. Had me scared for a while. Very happy that Icom is so much easier. Thanks for the video. N3EDO

Thank you! Very clear explanation!

Short and sweet Matt, the way it should be. I laughed at “you don’t have to but i prefer to turn the radio off” You sound just like me, loved up radio user. My FT-450D was purchased new, nearly one year ago. Would you believe that it’s still got the plastic that covers the display, that it arrived with. M7BCN

Are the changes in firmware earth shattering different? Are you still enjoying the 7300..i remember one of your videos where you said you were 100% digital modes.. What happened? Thanks for all the vids. Love your channel 😉

you should slow down a bit....been away from ham radio for 20 years ...a lot of changes in that time...A lot of bells & whistles that the old FT-301 Yaesu did not have.
