Digital Software, Logging and Rig Control I can use one or two cables with how I have things setup (more on 'Connectors' in the next article) and I can use Windows, Mac or Linux operating systems. I won't delve into CW or RTTY (FSK) in this post. The settings in this article will work with all of the major digital modes that I have tried. I try to keep my settings the same for all of my software. Whether using RTTY (AFSK), BPSK, JT65, JT9 or FT8, this is a fun and easy digital mode transceiver to operate. (I have noticed after my Windows computer updates, the USB driver gets updated too.) Consistency Download and install the Windows Icom 7300 USB driver from Icom before attaching the rig to your computer. The Icom 7300 uses an internal sound card device. Set aside your Signalink or whatever you were using with you old radio. The Icom 7300 is an easy radio to use for digital modes because all you need is a USB cable. The settings under 'Connectors' have been an issue with some Hams but, also the operational receiver settings, like filter bandwidth, USB data (USB-D), NB, and NR for digital modes. I had a conversation with a friend recently and while talking about the Icom 7300, HRD and DM780 I realized that I haven't made a good article covering basic receiver settings for digital modes.
