I do appreciate you doing this, but I sure wish you could show it step by step instead of just summarizing and speeding through what to do and trying to get through it as fast as possible. It's the details that count.

[@PRRGG1]

Great video! I just got this rig from my family as an early Christmas present.

[@patrickwall8517]

With regards to the USB cable it's best to use one like he has with the ferrite beads installed in it.

[@hubercats]

Hi Ken - Thanks for making and sharing this helpful video. Once one sets up the 7300 for digital comms, what does one have to do to use the radio in a non-digital mode such as SSB phone mode (using the microphone)? - Take care - Jim (KK7CSC)

[@foxpattn4387]

Thanks DD for a very good startup video.

[@melming8751]

Why don't you add notes that list the settings you said to use?

[@DAVE_WHITE]

Love these idiots make these videos with NO SETTINGS, no link to software nothing

[@brian.7966]

@@DAVE_WHITE now now they are not idiots, at least they are trying to help.

[@DAVE_WHITE]

@@brian.7966 help with what useless information and no link to the software?

[@6.5mm_is_the_best_mm]

@@DAVE_WHITE He tells you exactly what you need to do to connect the radio to the computer. The software (fldigi) is just an example of digital mode software. This video was not meant to teach you how to use digital modes. Learn what modes and software you plan to use and look for information specific to your decision.

[@bubbajeph]

What about Macintosh? Do I need to install this driver?

[@BlackHamRadioUniversity]

We saw CW but can you show us a video with you transmitting. Is it as simple as you just hitting the PTT button and it shows up on your software?

[@denelson83]

Will Icom's USB driver work on the Raspberry Pi?

[@tantrispicks2440]

Thanks for the video; good info!

[@spydie]

I'm very curious why some guys are putting PanAdapters on the 7300 for connection to their computers. What information is the USB cable not supplying to the computer app that the PanAdapter does?

[@donsilva4441]

Any help out there from anyone?

[@sitnslide]

Fldigi shows 146.520, 7300 shows 7.018+. Definitely NOT ready to work digital.

[@UncleLoodis]

Yep, I noticed that too. I was wondering what I was doing wrong...

[@donsilva4441]

Can't get mine to key up in VOX. I Have to hit the transmit button on the front of the 7300 every time to transmit. It works otherwise.

[@80909dave]

same here this video sucks

[@TheDickw]

Why doesn't the freq on FLDIGI match the radio?

[@geod3589]

He doesn't have the CI-V cable plugged in

[@denelson83]

@@geod3589 Actually, he does. The USB can handle CI-V just fine. He just didn't set the rig control up in this video.

[@jimcoulter5877]

HMMMN did not work for me computer will not key the radio. Too much Fog around the Data download and driver update area. Have no way of knowing what is t=in the 7300 for driver?? Anyway, it did not work Radio will not key

[@Denveradoo]

Thank you

[@donalddavis581]

But maybe sounds stupid but I have a reason for asking.... NO one ever shows how to return the radio back to SSB usage. My radio always seems to have issues and causes me to have to reset the radio....

[@UncleLoodis]

You touch the "CW" portion on your 7300, and choose SSB.

[@patrickwall8517]

The driver from ICOM is free but you have to pay for whatever software your going to use.

[@RobertHartwigphoto]

You can use Winlink for free and use it as an email Service

[@1shARyn3]

you assume that the computer OS is Windows ...... You don't explain why the settings (potentiometer) are what you have stated ... what happens/effects if you use different values?

[@kc8qdp1]

thanks sweetheart

[@KaiTakApproach]

Super helpful, thanks. Also, your smile reminds me of Jack Nicholson's.

[@aaronlabranche2977]

Not help full way to fast . .y FL digi not the same I'm running newest you must not be

[@jimcoulter5877]

I suggest They have someone that is more communicative do it and toss this Video. Not much use.

[@aaronlabranche2977]

I dont think he could talk faster and brush over important settings i gove this video a F

[@cerise45]

On ne voit rien pas intéressant

[@glennstevenson6242]

Too complicated.

[@virzantillweed]

He never actually transmits...Just a gloss over video...I did everything he showed and it doesn't work...poor, vague presentation...

[@jimcoulter5877]

I agree even slowed it down and stopped, but radio does not transmitt.

[@johnlane7856]

I just wish people would get off the lame computer and pic up a microphone....nerds have ruined the world with computers and now it's killing ham radio...PICK UP A MICROPHONE AND CALL CQ IF YOUR TOO SCARED TO TALK ON A MICROPHONE THEN GO BACK TO CHATROOMS...

[@charlesrussell6201]

Too fast and skipping over needed info. We're all NOT computer nerds. I clicked off at 3:45.

[@py4aw]

You did NOT show the main what we want: the display of the radio! Where is the menu display of the 7300? how to set up to run FT-8? where is the JTDX set up? you simply talk bla bla bla and we couldn't see nothing. Back to zero again!
