Changing bands is done through the touch screen. The Icom 7300 utilizes the LCD touch screen for many items. To see a sample visit my post: IC-7610 Spectrum Scope Variations Icom 7300 vs. The meters on the Icom 7610 can be customized and the display can be viewed in many different ways. ![]() Side by side, there is a big difference in the touch screens. The quality is impressive and the increased size makes it extremely useful. The Icom 7610 has taken the Icom touch screens to a new level.

It's very easy to setup and I even have a video on that part (see below).Click for a larger image. Let's use VSPE to split the one COM Port we have. We are going to need a COM Port for CW keying with some programs. If you can’t find it, for simplicity, set USB SEND to OFF. If you’re software has RTS checked off somewhere this will send the radio into TX and you’ll usually have to power off the radio and find out what setting in your software has RTS enabled. Here are my screen captures and these settings work with everything I use. Transmitting CW - Icom 7300 Settingsįirst let's look at the Icom 7300 menu and get the radio setup to transmit CW using common Ham Radio software.

I have other posts on CW that may interest you. I will be using one cable with my Icom 7300 for transmitting CW and we'll be using Virtual Serial Port Emulator for splitting the one COM Port. ![]() Why would you want to use software to send CW anyway? Maybe you're getting up there in years and just can't send like you use too or maybe you like contesting, so I thought we'd go over some common software. ![]()
