- Responding to a question from an Oggie, here is hooking up your modern rig to a computer and using WSJT-X. We use the IC-7300 reference station as the example rig, and the computer is a 64-bit Win10 machine. Feel free to comment with additional suggestions. 73!

I'm often asked what equipment I use to create the videos. The devices include the Panasonic DMC-G7 camera, Panasonic HDC-TM90 video camera, GoPro Hero2 HD camera, Tascam DR-05 audio recorder, Audio-Technica ATR-3350 lapel microphone, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W560 digital camera, the Kodak Zi-8 video camera, my iPhone 5S. Software used: CyberLink PowerDirector 17 on an HP Gaming Pavilion, also using Smoothdraw 4.0.5.0, FastStone Image Viewer 5.3, FastStone Capture 8.0, Audacity 2.1.1, LibreOffice 5.0.4.2, and Ink2Go 1.7.2.

Dave, I think you missed a very critical part of the WSJT-X setup. In the setup screen don't you need to go to the "Audio" tab and set the input and output sound cards to be those in the radio and not the default Windows audio devices? If you don't do this I believe WSJT-X will be sending the audio to the default Windows device and trying to decode from the default Windows audio input device which is usually a microphone if you have one on your machine. On an IC-705 which is all I have to test with these are labeled "USB Audio CODEC".
One of the things I learned when using my IC-7300 for multiple scenarios is....save settings to the SD card for any configured modes that are different from the default behavior. That way once you figure different things out you can recall the file so you don't forget something.
Thanks for another great show. Your voice sounds like it is getting a little tired. Stay well we need you. KD9HWH
The 7300 works well in split mode dave. It keeps your harmonics out of the transmission. Kinda necessary, especially when you blare out ft8 at a near criminal 50 watts. LOL :P
Hi, Dave. One of the features of firmware version 1.40 is a setting specifically for FT8. This allows rapid switching between FaT8 and other modes. I’ve been using it and it is very convenient. BTW, tell us about your plane. Thanks. 73 N6###
Dave, you only did half the video... you talked about needing to set up the IC7300 for rig control but never actually showed the settings needed. Also as mentioned you didn’t go into the audio set up in the Menus to show the software where to receive and send sound.
Could you please do a small series on the various digital voice modes and getting them set up for a DVMega (or similar) hotspot and what features you may lose by running them with a hotspot vs a radio and/or repeater thanks and have a great day
x86 comes from the 'old days' of the 80286/80386/80486 CPU architecture. 16-bit & 32 bit.
I have found that if you ask ten people, you will get ten answers of how to do it. I had thought that it was as simple as ABC and 123 but I found found that it was not. It does not make any sense but I find that others have had the same experience. Take away is to keep asking questions and when you find the EXACT solution that works.... STAY WITH IT. I had mine up and running just fine with the 7300 connected to my PC along with WSJT-X and Gridtracker so that FT8 was humming right along with many QSOs. Then one day, things did not work. Hoping to get things running again as FT8 is quite the bit of fun. Wanting to give FT4 and a few other modes a shot.
Are there any settings in the radio setup menu we should be concerned with?

Very nice Demo.
How about IC7300 Settings for PSK31 or SSTV etc Modes.
Thank you

I have a timing problem. One of the videos gave a thing to use to set it but when I tried it, it didn't look like he showed in the video and it didn't set my time so I uninstalled it. So I still have a trouble with the timing.
Is there any support for installing the 7300 driver in Win 11? The driver does not show up in the Devices list...
I got the USB cable from another video. Now, how do I make stuff show up in the right-hand box, like yours?
you just blew my mind. I don't have window at all.
Thanks, Dave. You never mentioned *exactly* what USB cable to use. What did you mean by AB?
It’s the same cable that is used for an HP printer. It’s the very original USB cable. The end that goes into the computer is a type a at the end that goes into the printer is type B. Hope that helps.
Anytime anyone says that you need to install a driver to do anything, that should be a big red flag. Drivers often get outdated which makes your hardware useless. Also, in most cases, an installed driver is completely unnecessary. When are hardware/radio manufacturers going to stop doing this to us?
FT8 may be a easy mode to do but I myself find it very boring..Give me psk,ssb, or even cw any day of the week..I deleted my ft8 software over a year ago after doing it a week or 2..
I have the 7300 but there is so much I don't know. I just have a computer that works on Chrome and Google. so I ques i have problems.
I think you have a typo in the title
Good catch-fixed.
Does the this radio need an external USB sound card like a SignaLink USB? Or is there one built in?
The IC7300 has a built-in soundcard equivalent
@@davecasler Is that on the same USB cable, or another?
@@kq6up Same cable. Only one USB cable needed between IC7300 and computer.
@@davecasler so do two com ports and one sound device show up in the device manager after installed?
@@kq6up Depends on which radio brand. The Yaesu's set up two COM ports. I think the Icom has one COM port (I say "I think" because what the computer displays is confusing). Your sound device shows up as an Audio CODEC, which you choose when you set up your digital mode software.
Title wrong .... IC-3000???
Next time don't get so high broheem.........cut the dose in half or share OG....!

No support for Linux. What a shame.
Yes there is. Being a professional astronomer the author likely originally wrote the software for Linux or Mac
At time stamp 7:54 you can see the Linux Distro Repositories listed below Dave’s mouse icon.
@@Gravel_Rat78 That is for the software, not Icom's USB driver, shown starting at 3:00.
@@derekdowns6275 Hamlibs contains the driver for Icom when installing WSJT-X it is dependent that hamlibs be installed first.
