Comment on My new HF radio set up successfully

Woohoo! HF is a whole new world, especially if you are interested in digital modes or CW. Upgrading to General is totally worth it.
Welcome to the hobby!
I run an IC-7300 and a few kits I built. The Xiegu radios look really nice though, I’m curious to hear how it goes

Yeah, I’m taking a class and then the general test this coming February. So far it seems to do almost everything that I’d want except it doesn’t have a scanning feature, but maybe that’s what the waterfall is for?

Scanning isn’t particularly useful on HF. You will have to manually tune in whatever signal it stops on and most of the time it will just find noise. A band scope is much more useful.
