Hi Tom. While the video was quite informative, it was nearly impossible to follow a tiny dot on illegible screen shots. Looking forward to the Quadra video. Neat little unit.
I realized that during post processing. But thank you anyways.
I can't thank you enough for this! Been using WSJT for years and just upgraded to a new IC-7300. I've watched a bunch of videos on setting up WSJT on the 7300 and yours is the only one that worked. I was about ready to give up. Thanks again and hope to see you on the bands. Now if I could get ACLOg working I'd be set. 73, WK4X
I’ve been using the n3fjp aclog with mine. It’s actually really easy. I’ll put out a quick video in the next few weeks, so BOLO!
great setup video, keep them rolling out, 73
Thanks, will do!
New sub here. This is something I want to try to figure out this year. Getting some working knowledge of using digital mode on both my 7300 and 705. Also will be getting my extra this summer (hopefully), so I can check all that off my list. Currently working (slowly ) on my CW. But, FT8 is next on my list!
Welcome aboard! FT8 is pretty easy as the software does the work for you….

Thanks you for being a great help
You’re very welcome
Very nicely done. However, every time I go to Settings on WSJT-x 2.6.1, and close out the window, it fails to work. Then, I go back and see that everything, including the Audio Codec settings (now saying >not found
Not sure what’s happening. WSJTx should save as you go. Try uninstalling and reinstalling WSJTx and see if that clears it up. I’ll try to recreate on my system and will let you know if I have any further insights. 73
I thought that the program should save my settings, but it isn't. I actually uninstalled v. 2.6.1 in order to follow your video, step by step because it has not been working. I guess it's mystery. It's odd that W10 is also flipping the Audio Codec settings as well...gremlins! 73 DE N2GJ-Thanks for the quick reply.
How can you start over if you install the driver with radio plugged in and on?
On the 7300 you just need to turn off the power supply. The later Yaesu rigs require you to disconnect the USB cable
@@ND3N I don’t know what I need to do but my usb isn’t showing up like in some videos I am watching and I don’t have any idea what I am doing new ham and first time trying to figure out ft8 windows 11 icom 7300
@@ND3N I installed the driver radio on usb plugged in
Many thanks Bro
