I'm currently running an FT-891, whenever I manage to get myself a 7300, it's going to take me a very long time to learn everything. the FT-891 is primarily a mobile / portable radio, so it's very menu-driven. It took me about a month to learn the whole thing, so I'd imagine it's probably going to take me about 2 months to learn a 7300. Also, this video has simply reinforced the fact that I need a 7300 lol... 73 de W8IJC!

Great video. Really well done! I was still having problems with my ICOM 7300 set up this weekend. Was working previously but not after latest ICOM software update. Then I came upon the FT8 preset! Loaded this mode and the ICOM is perfect. Just thought I would add this as one push of the button sets the whole radio up to be optimised ! Cheers. Mark M7MSR (p.s. I should add that the FT8 button of course sets the radio up for all the modes that WSJT-X et al offers ! )

I used to own a 7300 so I appreciate its attributes and probably all you need in the real world. But I do think if you use it with a pc like with data modes the consideration for sdr is a must. My sdr as a lot more going on with a wider range of parameters for individual use. Incidentally my sdr costs the same as 7300 so you don’t need deep pockets to realise it.

Great videos, Hayden.. I have one question... at the moment... In this video you show finding a sort of clear spot where the red and green come together to form a box.. I "assume" that means you plan to send a CQ on that freq and receive there as well... But, what happens when you are hunting? You click on a CQ and it changes the green box. Do you leave your TX box in the same place? Thanks
@HamRadioDX Жыл бұрын
If you double click on a call, and you have Hold TX Freq ticked, then the TX freq will stay the same, whilst the green box will move to the station you’re calling. It’s recommended to keep this ticked

@HamRadioDX3 жыл бұрын
Hi Jay, Make sure in WSJT-X under the radio settings it is set to "Data". It should then key in the USB-Data mode. The reason that there is no transmit power is because it's trying to transmit in USB mode (and in the radio this is configured to take audio from the front MIC socket). I hope that helps, let me know if you get stuck.
