What’s the new 7300 scroll mode look like?

Hopefully it stops making the waterfall a swirly mess.

Several things that are worth having.

Link has a forbidden access for me.

I assume it is a main firmware update not a front CPU upgrade

These are operating convenience upgrades, rather than "fixes". Tell us what fixes you're interested in that they don't talk about.

The DSP version is unchanged - that is the only area I would like to see improved...

Yeah, I got mine upgraded, in a world the is filled with throw away items, I find it refreshing that Icom found the need to improve a product that is already a few years old.
These parameters are not ground breaking but they reflect a different policy from the norm that  rewards purchase of new product rather than supporting an older  product.
I am also surprised that this topic hasn't sky rocketed in posts as we all know the Ic7300 is a very well known radio.

Most if not all sdr radios get updates.
The Japanese ones not so much, but they CAN be updated.
Some sdr radios have various software packages they can use that receive updates all the time.
The Anan and older Flex radios are like that, as well as others from Elad and so on.

Flex is slow to upgrade or add things to their software for the new radios, but they COULD do so...

If interested, KE0OG Dave is going to produce a YouTube video detailing latest IC7300 firmware updates soon. He's a retired IBM engineer with Masters in engineering and math....he amazes me what he knows about physics and engineering including ham radio. Dave was recently published in QST writing about the math in our hobby.

Thanks, I am going to look him up. It not there yet on Sunday. I did read through the print at Icom, but I wouldn't mind arm chairing a listen on utube.
