Icom IC7300 A to Z #21 Voice Recorder Settings & Voice Transmit Memories

[@thomaslufkin99]

I had tried to use this function and could not get it to work. I gave up. Then I watched your video and the most important thing you said was almost missed. At minute 10:01 you make the statement that you do not push the push-to-talk when you record your voice. WOW!! That was what I was doing wrong.... Thanks again for all the great info on the operation of this radio.

[@HamRadioA2Z]

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@kaptkrunchfpv]

Heck of a endeavor covering the 7300 as well as you are. As a new 7300 owner I say THANKS!!

[@1967plymgtx]

One interesting observation I have had is that when recording a CW QSO, you will end up with dozens of files as the transmitter switches back and forth momentarily between transmit and receive during that split-second pause between transmitted words. BTW, I have owned my IC-7300 for several years and only now, while reviewing your videos, am I beginning to scratch the surface with regard to utilizing the full potential and benefits of this rig. Thanks so much for taking the time, and making the effort, to produce such a comprehensive and easily understood documentary regarding the IC-7300. 73, W4ISZ

[@robertmachette836]

Paul, what if you take the file split off? That should solve that for CW. 73 AI5CA

Hi Tom: Just got the 7300 a few days ago and wanted to say thinks for your videos. I won't remember all that was covered but I will remember that it's passable and look it up in the manual. Come a long way from my FT-101B bought from Henry Radio Butler, MO in 74. Have owned a few since but nothing like this one and your videos made better sense than reading the manual. Show and tell, always works better than read and try. Associated Radio, been there a few times and bought some rigs and stuff from them. Last was my FT-857D, when I lived in Gladstone, MO for almost 40 years. Retired and move back to Harrison AR. now Changed my call from WB0MDZ to K5EDD after move, wasn't but the call was available and looks like never issued. Great Video, helped a lot for sure and yes I watched them all in the past two days.

[@HamRadioA2Z]

Thanks! Enjoy the radio. I love mine.

[@leonardoriccardi4232]

tnx great videos i learn very much about ic 7300 whit your chanel Congrats.73

[@gayraudpatrice5759]

Hello, thanks a lot for the your very helpfull videos on line Best 73's from Pat F5TDK

[@donaldsmith3048]

I don't think you talked about takingthe card out. The Dismount!

[@HamRadioA2Z]

A good point. The manual does warn about just taking a card out without using the dismount option. I will have to mention that in the next video I do involving the SD card. Honestly, I usually just turn the rig off before I pull the card, rather than bothering with going through the menus.

[@heyopey]

HI Tom thanks for all the IC7300 videos, I am a new ham with a new ic7300 and for sure would be lost without these videos. :-) i have a question about the quick menue button, can you add item to it? right now there is only "meter type and REC Start" thanks again for all your work 🙂Wolfgang Fort Pierce Florida

[@HamRadioA2Z]

Hi Wolfgang. Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad to know that the videos are helpful. Adding items to the Quick menu is a great idea! Unfortunately, there is no way to do that, as far as I know.

[@heyopey]

@@HamRadioA2Z Thank you so much for your fast response. Its a little sad that that Quick button has only 2 items. A wonderful day to you 😊😊😊😊

[@mplmpl7780]

Thanks i have watched all your video which are a great help. One question ,i have a manual Atu for my Doublet antenna so i need to tune alot , is there a button that i can push to transmit an am or fm carrier to tune easier with having to change from ssb to am then transmit? Thanks again

[@HamRadioA2Z]

If you switch the radio to RTTY mode and just key the mic, it will put out a CW carrier. BUT- you need to remember to turn the RF power down while you're tuning. There are also a number of plans out there to make a switch that connects to the auto-tuner port on the back. The switch will cause the radio to put out a CW carrier at 5-10 watts for tuning.

[@jameskeough4620]

I've already used the TX record feature, but learned a few more tricks with this vid. Thx!

[@Paddy_Roche]

Thanks as always Tom, great things in this episode like the Loop playback. I got to wondering if you could set your pre-records say for a contest then save the Radio configuration as say “Contest” then reset them for everyday use and save the Radio configuration again as say “Normal” and load the configurations as needed would the pre-records be saved under each configuration?? I’m not sure I will give it a try. Until next time 73 Tom.

[@HamRadioA2Z]

When you Save the radio configuration, the voice recordings are not saved separately as part of the configuration/settings. They're already saved in the VoiceTX folder on the SD card when you make the recordings. You could use a separate SD card for each contest. Then record your calls and responses on the appropriate card. Then save the rig settings for each contest to the corresponding card as well. Then you could just pop in the correct SD card for each contest and load the settings. Your VoiceTX recordings will already be there and will show up on the on-screen menus.

[@9165RADIOS]

Nice. I wish there was a setting to edit the Title (Tag) of in the WAV files. (Example: "IC-7300 Voice Recorder Data 21.411.10 USB RX 2022-03-05 02:45:43") ...too long, love to truncate everything up to "Data"

[@edwardschrisb]

What is the 3A response used for?

[@lioneljellis382]

How do i record a receive station an re transmit that station. J69kz

[@dogikata]

It is such a great presentation, thank you Tom! I have here one question, my prerecorded message is not working as intended when answering station in a Split Mode, It works fine however on the same frequency.

[@HamRadioA2Z]

Hi Henry. Interesting. I haven’t heard of that issue. I don’t believe I’ve ever tried the voice keyer memories in split mode. I’ll have to give it a try and let you know what I find.

[@HamRadioA2Z]

Hi Henry-- I just tried using the voice memory with the 7300 set to split mode on 80 meters. Here are the settings I tried: VFO A = 3.600 Mhz VFO B= 3.79999 Mhz Radio set to VFO B and SPLIT. With the Voice TX menu displayed, I hit T1. The rig switched to 3.6 Mhz and started transmitting, then switched back to 3.79999 Mhz at the end of the message. So, I can't seem to duplicate whatever issue you are having. Can you provide more details on how you have things setup?

[@dogikata]

@@HamRadioA2ZThank you Tom, I think I found the reason right now, VFO A is for Rx and VFO B is for Tx. It works this way it did not the other way. I did not pay enough attention to notice that during my initial test so my apology for that! Again, let me express how thankful I'm for your guide, Henry - VE3RUV

[@f.allenrisler5303]

How do you re-broadcast your recorded QSO?

[@LEEBO-56]

Yes, a very good question.

[@HamRadioA2Z]

I’m sorry that I missed this question almost a year ago! Unfortunately, the answer is that there’s no way I know of to get the radio to retransmit recorded QSO audio. If you need to do this, your best bet is to connect the radio to. a PC and use some audio software to record from the radio. Then play it back into the radio.

[@davemitchell116]

11:01 "I'm not sure what you'd record that's a minute and a half long...." How about net preambles? I call a couple of nets and the preambles get a little tedious.

[@HamRadioA2Z]

Using the voice transmit memories for net preambles is a great idea!
