Latest Version Setup Icom 7300 PRESET FT8 WSJT-X Install, Setup, In-depth video with DXPedition QSO

I had an exciting experience using the Icom 7300. I reset mine to the factory defaults so it was just like new. The latest firmware features a really useful option of a PRESET menu and comes with FT8 pre-installed. To get started with FT8, simply install the USB driver on your computer, install WSJT-X, configure it and load the FT8 PRESET. This radio is an excellent choice for those who need an easy-to-use solution.

Later I was able to quickly and seamlessly navigate through the various menus and settings, and the large touch screen display made it easy to view and adjust settings. The audio quality was also impressive, with clear and crisp sound on TX and RX.

One of the standout features of the Icom 7300 is its spectrum scope display. This allowed me to easily view signals, and even decode signals that were not audible to the human ear. The automatic band tracking feature also made it simple to switch between frequencies and bands.

Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with the Icom 7300 and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-performance and user-friendly radio. Its advanced features and ease of use make it an ideal choice for amateur radio enthusiasts and professionals alike.

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 YouTube 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.

Rich, A very good video. You are one of the first videos that uses Win 11. I struggled at first with Win 11 setup but finally it to work with my I-7300. BTW, my brother lives in Cullman. Small world!

Rich, Very Nice video thanks for your hard work. I have a tip for you next time you change frequency in wsjt-x hold down the Ctrl and click on the waterfall it will put your TX and RX there at the same time.

Great video. FYI, there is an easier way to log by using UDP broadcast. When I click on someone calling CQ, my logging software (N3FJP) automatically enters the log info and waits for me to save the log when the QSO is done. No need to import later.

Great video. Question: when trying to make contact with another station and they change the Hertz should we also change the hertz Thanks and 73
