Using two cables (it works well with other logging programs as well). The USB cable for HRD rig control and the CI-V cable for WSJT-X rig control. In this configuration I’m using QSO forwarding in HRD Logbook. It works very well.

FT8 is a very popular mode and WSJT-X is my favorite program for it and JT9 and JT65.
I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. I have a lot of fun. On my TH-cam channel I upload videos mostly on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 as well as Ham Radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to get involved in Amateur Radio.

You have some of the best Practical videos.
Very helpful, I'm on vacation but I was just working on getting them working together with my elecraft k2 using a signalink just before I left. I'll be going over this video with my set up when I get home. Thanks and 73, Tom k2bew
Thank you for watching and thank you for commenting. Have a great vaca, we're digging out of a blizzard here in SD, hi hi! Best 73!
In WSJT-X you can simply select Ham Radio Deluxe as the radio. This will run and log into HRD without the need for setting up the CI-V cable.
Hi Shaun, it's nice to hear from you and thanks for commenting here. Please visit my website for many different ways to configure ham radio software: k0pir.us/hrd-logbook-and-wsjt-x-integration-new-hrd-v6-4-0-886/
Merry Christmas and have a great weekend! 73 de K0PIR
Merry Xmas to you and yours too Rich!! 73 and tnx for the great work you provide.
Thanks for the idea of using two cables to use two comm-ports. That resolved my problem using RS-BA1V2 as a remote software for digital modes. Now I control the WSJT-X by the CI-V cable (Com-Port 4) and control the RS-BA1V2 by the USB cable (Com-Port3). The WSJT-X is still installed on the server PC and I have the visual on my remote PC by using VNC (combination server-client) but the RS-BA1V2 does everything else, transfers the 2way audio to the remote PC and controls the 7300 for everything including the waterfall scope. It would be even better if I can make that CI-V comm-port virtual to be used over the network in which case I won't need VNC since the WSJT-X will be installed on the remote PC. That is something I still need to figure out. 73 de W5DMA
J.T. Thank you so much for commenting. I sincerely appreciate your input. Thanks for watching and have a great year! HNY and 73!
@@HamRadioAdventures Update: Instead of using VNC which provides blurry picture of the desktop, I used your idea of controlling the radio by HRD. Now by combination of three software apps (HRD, RS-BA1V2 and WSJTX) and two cables (USB and CI-V) I enjoy using my laptop for remote FT8 access to the IC-7300. The HRD runs only as a Windows service on the local desktop while it is also installed on the remote laptop allowing WSJTX remote connection to 7300. The FT8 app uses Icom virtual drivers (installed by RS-BA1) so no virtual audio cables are needed. Even though RS-BA1 doesn't show USB-D since it wasn't meant to be used for digital modes, the WSJTX works just fine with USB shown on the display. Besides the HRD, I had to include RS-BA1 in order to have two way audio on my remote laptop which also works well for SSB and CW. HNY too, 73 de W5DMA
Hi Rich, just found out you had a channel!, Subd, look forward to hearing you on the BC net!, 73 Mark / NQ0A in Moab UT...
Nice to hear from you Mark and thank you for subscribing! 73!
I have just followed your 2 cable set up, i thought it is a great idea to have the programs independent but together too. I am sure I followed your set up, however ! when I expectantly double clicked a contact everything worked, the rig went PTT but no output.
You did say that the CIV cable doesn't carry audio and didn't actually demonstrate how WSJTX logs into HRD so I wonder if I should not expect it to transmit or I must still have a simple setting that is different.
I am sure the Icom settings are the same as yours going by the screen shots on your web site. Cant seem to see any descriptions of your WSJTX settings though.
Main question is should I expect WSJTX to work fully over the CIV cable or not. I am happy to go back to piggy backing onto HRD but this latest way seemed to be the Bees Knees.
Thanks in advance for any advice, regards, Chris.
Just re checked the 7300 settings. All same as yours. Tried to use the contact on your web site but that didn't like me. Hence this question :-)
I have FTdx101mp and like to use HRD logbook. Which one i need write to wsjt-x "Radio" window: HamRadioDeluxe or FTdx101MP?
73, Mika, OH6NVC
Hi Mika, Using one cable for the CAT connection use Ham Radio Deluxe as the rig in WSJT-X. You'll need to setup QSO forwarding if you are not using something like GridTracker or JT Alert. See this for QSO forwarding k0pir.us/hrd-logbook-and-wsjt-x-integration-new-hrd-v6-4-0-886/
Hi I see your HRD to use com10 and wsjtx is com12, and the freq can sync both with these 2 softwares, how to working on this condition, thanks!
Nice to hear from you, the setting to use this is under CI-V. "Unlink From [REMOTE]" See www.k0pir.us/icom-ic-7300-specifications-features/icom-7300-screen-captures/ Best 73!

myzante Thanks for coming by and watching and commenting . I will have an article on my website to go with this video in a day or two. 73!
Will WSJT open automatically when the HRD is opened?
KD2QMZ hello and thank you for commenting here and thank you for watching the video. No it will not, but if you use JT Alert it can open WSJTX after JT alert is started. Best 73 from Garden City Kansas!
is it possible to run RSBA1 together with WSJT-X simultaneously? if so do you have the setup video? thank you.
Hi and thank you for commenting here. I have not done that but I believe that it is possible. There is a Facebook group and a ham on there who is very knowledgeable of RS-BA1. It is the RS-BA1 group on Facebook. I am sure that that group can help. I hope to get to that soon enough thank you again and best 73!
@@HamRadioAdventures thank you so much.
Hi Revadan. I just used this video for exactly this reason. Set the WSJT-X up as Rich has above, then set RS-BA1 up as you normally would (there's a cracking Icom video which tells you how to do that). Something I have noticed though, v1 of RS-BA1 doesn't allow you do use USB-D, only normal USB.
Also works with N1MM+ perfectly. I'm guessing it would work with Win4Icom and so on too.
where do you get the correct civ cable?
I got mine off ebay. The prolific works fine for me. The shorter the better. ebay.us/RBI4KC

@@HamRadioAdventures Thanks Rich I just ordered it.
@@HamRadioAdventures Well I just received what you said to get. It doesn't work. The software that came with it has nothing for ICOM. I'm glad it was $9.97 instead of a hundred bucks.
@@bigjoeshmo No the CD you probably don’t need, that’s just the driver for the cable. Once you plug the cable in to your computer plug it into the remote port on the Icom radio and then check the device manager on your computer you should see a comport added. If you don’t unplug the cable from your computer and then plug it back in while watching device manager. If it ask you for a driver then you’ll use the CD. I always go with sellers that rank with 99% or more and sellerd that take returns. It’ll work.
