Digital on my IC 7300
« on: December 03, 2023, 05:28:49 PM »
Hmmm..... Well, I found a cheat sheet in amongst my pile of papers  for setting up my ICOM to operate Digital. It made no sense whatsoever, but I followed the instructions and Wham, it seemed to work. Hmmm.... Maybe I'll be able to participate in Tuesdays Digital net.

It would be helpful to post that cheat sheet.  I would certainly appreciate it! :fuckYeah:

Jackalope, I might be able to do that but I have to warn you that when I got down to the bottom 20% it made no sense and didn't fit any of my 7300 Menu Settings. I opened the Ham Radio Deluxe program and had to make a few educated guesses based on the Digital Master 780 PTT settings. If I'm able to post it, I will. Now, as to how I got it. I think I wrote down everything from a You Tube Video that I watched on setting up a 7300 for digital. You might try to find the You Tube video that I watched and maybe get more out of it than I did. I just followed along and wrote everything down and hoped that it might work. The thing that made it confusing was that they were telling me to turn things on or off that I thought was logically backwards.

Thanks, PK.  I'll be interested on how you do on tonight's digital net.

Well.... I'm pissed off. The computer said I was receiving and transmitting, and the radio said I was receiving and transmitting but nobody heard me. I guess I'll give my report on the phone net.
