#ic7300 — Public Fediverse posts

The #hamradio #CQWW is largely a bust for me. Solo op and 8hrs scattered over 3 sessions and I have a total of 40 contacts. Bleach. Now we did have a rain storm over night and this morning. FT8 showed that propagation was horrible, so that could be it. But dang if that isn't discouraging. Could hear many ops but couldn't get them to hear me. #ic7300 and 100W on an end fed random draped over my house roof ~30ft AGL.

Whoo-hoo I got #ubuntu #linux running on my #hamradio laptop. #sdrpp works and so does #wsjtx with the #hydrasdr and #ic7300. The #laptop is an old #lenovoyoga 1st generation.

@DD3AH wenigstens ein zusätzlicher Antennen Anschluss wäre toll gewesen...
Der LAN Anschluss ist natürlich schön:
Direkte Steuerung ohne zusätzlichen Rechner, wie auch beim #IC9700
Aber nur dafür wechsel ich nicht zum MKII.
Ich bin immer noch sehr zufrieden mit meinem #IC7300

Der Icom IC-7300 bekommt eine Modellpflege namens MKII. Die Liste der neuen Features liest sich gut. Ich bin mal gespannt, wie sich das in € ausdrückt.

@kr1st I found a couple of local #6meter #repeaters. I'll give them a try. I found this video for programming the #IC7300 for repeaters. fun stuff. https://youtu.be/LOrKUcs0eac?feature=shared

One of next week’s #HamRadioGoals will be to stop just talking about it & get some form of #FT8 -ish comms up & running. (The somewhat conversational variety that lets you type almost free-flow is the one I’ll be after.) I have an #IC7300 that has seen very little use & a small Gateway notebook that I think will be sufficient. So… I’ll do the research, but does anyone have suggestions for their top pick for a best website or YouTube chan / video perhaps? #KE0FFT #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

hunting #pota #FT8 on 40m in one machine. Listening to #EarthWindAndFire on the other. Doesn't get any betta than that... #amateurradio #blackjoy #Blackmastodon #BlacksInScience #ic7300

Baby steps. Not quite ready to transmit yet. But… the IC-7300 / Tablet setup is receiving. Following along with a WSJT-X setup video made by K8MRD. #IC7300 #IC7300ft8 #KE0FFT #KE0FFTft8 #WSJTx

Back in 2022 I flew to AZ and took my IC7300 with me. I signed in at the Titan Missile Museum south of Tucson and got permission to use the discone at the facility. The antenna is 80 feet tall and has great SWRs on all frequencies. The tuner within the 7300 didn't need to work hard at all. #amatureradio #hamradio #discone #ic7300

Thanks to Eric N2EPE, I recently learned about W4DD’s neat program for radio frequency interference (RFI) mapping named, helpfully, “RFI Mapper.” I emailed him for a copy and got a quick reply with clear instructions. Thanks Jeff! Note that this is a Windows program.

Helpful links to learn more:

– https://www.gars.org/presentations/2020-02-11 – Locating Power Line and other RF Noise – Jeff Stuparits W4DD.pdf

While testing with my home station, and IC-7300, the only issue I ran into was that the radio would key whenever I ran the program. That makes it hard to measure and creates QRM! The cause was that I have RTS keying set up, probably something to do with Winlink and/or fldigi.

Anyway, here’s how to get to the RTS setting in case you (or me in the future) need to:

• Menu (physical button)
• Set
• Connectors
• USB Send/Keying
• USB Send
• Off (neither RTS nor DTS)

The program covers several models of radio, but the IC-7300 is the only one I have a cable for at the moment. This type of thing is intriguing from a “how many ways are there to do this” perspective, which gets my gears turning. For example, KA7OEI did a similar project back in 2001: http://www.ka7oei.com/ft817_rptmon.html (and props to Clint for keeping a website up these last 23 years!). Could we do it with an SBC or an Arduino? Could we do it with a QMX? Sounds like fun…

#hamRadio #ic7300 #qrm #rfiMapping

New entry in my online journal about my first 30 days with my new Icom IC-7300.

https://journal.seefar.dev/sections/New_Radio_IC7300/

This one is a little all over the place. I digress towards the end with a Chat GPT analysis of an adif file export of my activity, to date, with the radio.

There's a lot more I could get into on Chat GPT and ADIF but it probably deserves its own post.

#hamradio #amateurradio #ic7300

I recently scored three dell thin clients for under £8 each.

Spec is similar ballpark to a raspberry pi, but with an x86 chipset and so much cheaper!

One of them will become a standalone #speakingClock system for the #DeanForestRailway #strowger #telephoneExchange (replacing a #museum exhibit that went offline in ~ 2019)

One of them will probably become a remote control host for my #icom #ic7300

The last one is likely to be kept as a spare for now, unless I can come up with another project.

The #IC7300 did not like my fat fingers in factory default configuration. Very difficult to set the modulation mode. I could make it work with a plastic stylus as supplied with my #nanoVNA, tho. There's a fix for that in the #Icom IC-7300 FULL manual. Using the touch screen calibration fixed it right up.

Toys! Toys! Toys!

#icom #ic7300 #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

I can confirm that the #IC7300 relay noise is much more tolerable with a little sticky tack. Can still hear it, but it doesn't overwhelm the sidetone anymore, even in QSK. Much better. https://youtu.be/eYyb4fqBa8k

SDR-Control finally now also supports the #Icom #IC7300. So far the best remote Control software for Icom radios I've come across. Highly recommended if you are using a Mac.

Worked without any issues, just read the manual first.
