IC-7300 HINTS AND TIPS
Title / Link Date Author Description
1 Common Problems and Saving / Reloading Settings 18-Jun-2017 Bootstrap Workbench Saving Icom IC-7300 settings to an SD card. Also, how to deal with screeching feedback, and no output on transmit for SSB
2 My Number One Tip for Beginners 26-Jul-2017 Bootstrap Workbench It is often said, but reading the manual can be the number one way to figure out any issues that you are having with a device. Have no fear, however, since I will keep making videos, to break down the details that you want to know about the IC-7300. In the episode, I give my impression of the IC-7300 Basic and Full Manual
3 Using Band Edges and Setting Up The Waterfall 27-Jun-2017 Bootstrap Workbench Getting to the band scope, setting the band scope to full screen, configuring band edges, and how to display your transmitted signal in the waterfall
4 Setting and Using Voice Memories 24-Jun-2017 Bootstrap Workbench Recording and naming voice TX memories. Also how to transmit a voice memory once, how to loop the voice memory, and how to change the delay between transmissions
5 How to Key CW Without a Key, Paddle or Bug 14-Jun-2017 Bootstrap Workbench Do you have an Icom IC-7300, and a manual tuner, but no CW key? If so, here is a quick way to get the IC-7300 to transmit CW, using only the mic. This method does not require the use of a dongle for the tuner connection, leaving you with the ability to use an automatic tuner between the radio and amplifier, and still be able to use the manual tuner after the amplifier
6 Firmware Update 25-Oct-2017 Bootstrap Workbench Updating the firmware on the IC-7300 is a straightforward process, if you keep in mind that it is possible to brick the radio, if you don't follow the precautions. The biggest hitch in the process, that I have heard about, is that you have to hold down the Yes button, to start the update. This is covered in this video. Enjoy, and thanks for watching!
7 Checking Your Frequency Accuracy with WWV 5-Oct-2017 Bootstrap Workbench If you suspect that your IC-7300 is off of the dial frequency, it is easy to check, and set, with your regional broadcast time standard. I am in North America, and use WWV in this video, but you could use WWVH, CHU or other shortwave time standards
8 Selecting and Adjusting Filtering 1-Oct-2017 Bootstrap Workbench A quick introduction to selecting, and adjusting the filtering on the IC-7300
9 Using Instant and Plotted SWR Meters 2-Oct-2017 Bootstrap Workbench Besides being able to check your SWR to protect your transceiver, being able to plot your SWR can help you with using a transmatch, and can also help you trim your antenna into a tuned state
10 Displaying your Callsign and Using Screen Capture 10-Oct-2017 Bootstrap Workbench Straight from the manual, these are two features that I use frequently. Configuring your radio to display your callsign allows you to keep track of your radio at field day, and is useful to recover a stolen rig. Power button screen capture is a feature that I use to make images for posting to social media, or incorporating into training videos
11 Using CW Auto-tune and Speech Annunciator 11-Oct-2017 Bootstrap Workbench Straight from the user manual, the Auto-tune button is a useful feature for CW operators. Once you are close to the other operator's frequency, you can press the auto-tune button, and the IC-7300 will tune to the correct zero beat. The speech button, just below the Auto-tune button, will read out the frequency and mode information, which is useful for vision impaired users
12 Introduction to using the MFJ-993 Intellituner with the Icom IC-7300 7-Aug-2017 Bootstrap Workbench An introductory video covering the MFJ-993 Intellituner. This small automatic tuner covers 1.8MHz to 30MHz at up to 300 watts. Capable of tuning up to a 32:1 mismatch at full power, or up to 64:1 at 150 watts. The tuner has two switchable antenna jacks, and a 4:1 current BALUN
13 IC-7300 Tuner Activator Switch 12-Feb-2017 Steve Ellington, N4LQ Close the switch and your IC-7300 will output 10 watts carrier for purposes of adjusting your manual tuner or keying an auto tuner. Diode is a 1N4148 or similar. Not critical
14 IC-7300 External Tuner Button Adapter 13-Dec-2016 Steve Ellington, N4LQ Here is how to wire the plug for your IC-7300 antenna tuner button. When pressing the "Tuner" button it will output 10 watts for 10 seconds or until your tap it again
15 Icom IC-7300 recording CQ 15-Feb-2017 Mike Wood icom 7300 CQ recording
16 Installing the Icom USB Driver on Windows 7 14-Aug-2017 Bootstrap Workbench The first step to using the Icom IC-7300 with software such as RS-BA1, Ham Radio Deluxe, N1MM or others, it to install the Icom USB Driver. I'm using Windows 7, but the process is similar for other versions
17 Working split with IC-7300 27-Jan-2017 Sky Warner Working dxpedition on IC-7300
18 IC-7300 LINKED for Diversity and DX Split 7-Feb-2017 Steve Ellington, N4LQ UPDATE 4/4/17 Use this for dual audio headphones for 2 rigs
19 IC-7300 QSK Full-Break-In Test 10-Apr-2016 Steve Ellington, N4LQ Here is a crude demo of the QSK capability of the IC-7300. A carrier is transmitted from another source while sending dits on the tested rig. The highest cw speed that we can hear something from the breaking source reveals the QSK limitation. In this case 25 - 28 wpm would be tops. I've found it adequate for QSOs over 30 wpm. My camera seems to pick up the relay better than expected. It's not really that loud. Perhaps it was because the camera was just 6" from the radio. The fan is actually much louder than what we show here. For some reason the camera is immune to fan noise! Another observation: The IC-7300 does truncate the dits when in F-BKIN mode. Switching to semi BKIN lengthens the characters slightly. This was observed when using the 7300's internal keyer. Personally, the dits while in semi-bkin mode seemed a bit too heavy but just right in F-BKIN. Whatever.....You can hear the difference and to compensate you would have to use an external keyer. The 7300 does have a Dot/Dash Ratio setting however it's not really a "weight control" rather it sets the ratio between dits and dahs which should normally be left at 1 to 3 anyway
20 Programming Memory channels in the ICom 7300 1-Oct-2016 Motivational DIY Guy, KE8CDD In this video I will show you how to program the memory channels on the Icom 7300
21 Storing to Memory Location using the North America 60m Channels 3-Aug-2017 Bootstrap Workbench A quick tutorial on how to store frequency and mode information into memory locations, using the 5MHz / 60M North American channels

10 Icom 7300 N3FJP ACLog WSJT X JTAlert Rig Control And Logging 11-Aug-2017 K0PIR Thank you Eric, KB3KNX, for the great question: "If I connect the CI-V to N3FJP's ACLog and use the USB to WSJT-X. Can I operate the IC-7300 independent of each other? Can I switch to DX using ACLogs DX spotting without the two programs conflicting with each other?" YES, you can click on a spot in AClog and the radio will jump to that frequency and mode. You can then use WSJT-X to go back to the digital frequency. NOTE: If you are using Split Operation (Rig) in WSJT-X pay attention to VFO B when changing frequencies or bands. If you are using two cables like me for your Icom 7300 and you want to use N3FJP Amateur Contact Log with WSJT-X and JTAlert, this is the way to do it. Select "Unlink from [REMOTE]" in the Icom 7300 menu settings under CI-V. You can use either program (WSJT-X or ACLog) to control the radio. In this video: 1. N3FJP Amateur Contact Log rig setup for the IC-7300 using the CI-V cable. 2. Enable TCP API in ACLog. 3. Icom 7300 menu and settings in the radio. 4. WSJT-X rig setup using the Icom 7300 as rig and the USB cable. 5. JTAlert setup so it logs into ACLog. 6. Net-Time, time sync application. 7. FT8 contact and logging to ACLog
11 Icom 7300 Fldigi Setup 7-Jun-2016 K0PIR With all of the software programs I've been using one of my main objectives is to keep the settings on the radio the same.
