The ICOM IC-7410 is the now discontinued IC-746PRO writ larger at least
physically, since this radio does not include 2 meter capability. In nomenclature
it follows the IC-7400, never marketed in
North America but which served as the
IC-746PRO in other parts of the world,
including Europe. 1 ICOM continues to
capitalize on this excellent and popular radio
foundation with the nearly simultaneous
release of the IC-9100, a higher tier model
that does include 2 meters, 70 cm, an optional
23 cm module, satellite features and a heftier
price tag. So, you could say the IC-7410 is
the IC-9100 for the rest of us.
ICOMs description of the IC-7410 as
an excellent balance of technology and
performance may suggest some measure
of compromise, but its quite capable. Keep
in mind, too, that ICOM has incorporated
the incremental technological improvements
faster signal digital signal processing, no
waiting for the radio to boot up, for instance
1R.

Bottom Line
The IC-7410 replaces the
IC-746PRO and adds an improved
receiver, much faster DSP performance and new features to the mix,
but drops 2 meter coverage. Although
the new radio does a lot, the 7410
user interface will be familiar to
users of current ICOM radios.

*No blocking occurred up to threshold of receiver overload.
**ARRL Product Review testing now includes Two-Tone IMD results at several signal levels.
Two-Tone, 3rd-Order Dynamic Range figures comparable to previous reviews are shown
on the first line in each group. The IP3 column is the calculated Third-Order Intercept Point.
Second-order intercept points were determined using 97 dBm reference.
***Single beat note. Reduces two beat notes up to 55 dB with attack time depending of separation
of signals, typically 400 ms.
Measurement was noise-limited at the value indicated.
Default values, sharp setting (smooth setting is available). Bandwidth and cutoff frequencies
are adjustable via DSP. CW bandwidth varies with PBT and pitch control settings.

And Furthermore . . .
Where does the IC-7410 fit into the larger
Amateur Radio transceiver market? While
the IC-7410 occupies the middle ground in
terms of price, its performance definitely
trends toward that of higher-tier transceivers.
An IC-7410 goes for approximately
$2000 at the big outlets, and the optional 6 and
3 kHz filters are about $125 apiece. In the
end, parsing the feature sets of ICOMs
