Once you have a way to get your two tone audio into the radio, either via injection to the microphone port, or by transmitting an audio file, you can check your linearity. If you have a good double sinusoidal pattern, then you can expect that your transmitter is running in the linear region. Otherwise you can adjust your transmitter, or amplifier and test again.

In some cases, you may want to transmit an audio file from your PC on the IC-7300. In this instance, I need to be able to transmit a two tone wav file, to be able to perform a linearity test. This video details what you need to do to be able to build a file that is compatible with the IC-7300.

In one of my previous videos, I covered installing WSJT-X and reconfiguring the radio to talk to WSJT-X. Bob Stothfang in the Icom IC-7300 group on Facebook mentioned that he handles this by using saved settings files on the SD card. This video deals with executing that method. Many thanks to Bob Stothfang.

The first step to using the Icom IC-7300 with software such as RS-BA1, Ham Radio Deluxe, N1MM or others, it to install the Icom USB Driver. I'm using Windows 10, but the process is similar for other versions.

 Do you have an Icom IC-7300, and a manual tuner, but no CW key? If so, here is a quick way to get the IC-7300 to transmit CW, using only the mic. This method does not require the use of a dongle for the tuner connection, leaving you with the ability to use an automatic tuner between the radio and amplifier, and still be able to use the manual tuner after the amplifier.

Been a while since I have posted... so here we go. I have been creating and posting some videos on YouTube, with regard to using the Icom IC-7300 HF+6m transceiver. I'll post up the individual videos as I go, but I have also made a playlist, which I will keep updated, that also contains the IC-7300 videos. Please check it out, and let me know if you have any questions or comments.
