Thanks for posting this. add me to the list of folks who had no output and thought there was something wrong with my rig. Thanks to you I’m back in business👍
Thank you for the video !!. Not only did it "fix" the no SSB TX output on the 7300, but also helped with fixing a monitor output level on my 7100. I kept searching the 7100 manual for sidetone.
Makes a nice change to see a video with no shaking out of focus camera, unintelligible speech and never ending waffle. I'm thinking of getting one of these rigs and your vid will be very helpful. Thanks!
Great tutorial, I just recently got this radio then just got my General yesterday, have not power the radio on just yet, looking to make space for it and mount it. I also have the IC-7100 from few months back but it is also new, never powered on yet. with the IC-7300 I am putting together a to go system for picnic tables and car camping. The weight of everything so far is around 40 pounds but it is including a 1510 Pelican case which has wheels. Can't wait to announce my upgrade on the air. 73 from Rody, KI7CSI
Thank you for the tip regarding no ssb output!!! I spent the weekend scratching my head in frustration until I stumbled on to your excellent video. And you’re right: I think it was caused by the RS-BA1 software. I can’t thank you enough - I was almost certain I would have to send the rig in for repair or at least trying a full reset. 73, Ken, N0IZE
Yes that Mic setting caught me out with loss of SSB transmission. Yes and due to some control software I tried. Many thanks for this, much appreciated.
Thanks for the vid, i just got caught out with the no transmit of ssb, as i have used FT8 so hence a setting which have now fixed after seeing this video. Thanks.
Thank you for the videos for the 7300. I just purchased one a month ago. I am CW/Digital op and have not even tried keying the mic yet, but at least I have an idea where to look now if I have feedback or no output signal. Thanks de KN3A
Thank you for this video. I had this exact problem and thought it was my auto tuner. In the process of trouble shooting the problem I reset my radio and that solved the problem. I just wish I had watched your video before I reset the radio without saving all my settings. Of course if I had watched first I would not have reset the radio!
Thank you very much Dear,🤝🤝🤝 ,,,NO WORDS ENOUGH TO SAY THANK YOU,,, SINCE LAST FEW WEEKS I IN MUCH STRESS DUE TO feedback noise in ic 7300,,, i m thinking that ic7300 had serious damage , n it should be repaired from authorised center,,,,😓, But you sliced my issue very easily thank you again
4:20 was my exact problem. I wondered why nobody can hear me lol. I was tryign to setup the Icom remote software (which failed to work btw). Thanks for the tip sir!
Thanks for the loss of SSB tip. Was looking online at warranty info 'til I came across your vid. Checked and found it was the problem. Maybe because I have been using it only for digital so far. Again thanks. Terry WB4EQJ
Helpful. Mine set off air for over 6 months and when I put it back on no power out! I did a reset and now it still has no power. I love consistency! I'll have to go back through this video again and see if I can get it to work. Thanks much.
Great video! Thanks for all the info.... have you ever checked to see how big the saved files are on the SD card? And..how large of an SD card(capacity) are you using....I doubt I will record much audio...TNX
Hi just bought a 7300 before that I had a yeaso 450d on a dismount cp6s antenna when I was on my 460d my s w r was good .now it's over the top 3.4 the only one that is 1.1 is 28.000.00 going up the rest to high any thoughts why I have looked at my plugs and earth wire all ok I even took the earth wire out the back of the 7300 just to see it that would help , but still the same . Thank you for any suggesting any thing from across the pond in East Yorkshire G4 KOH my name is ken .
I've just got everything set up and I can hear everything but I can't seem to get anything to transmit. When I key up an talk the m scope doesn't show anything on the waterfall. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong. Made sure mic was chosen like you showed but nothing seems to be getting out. My son does get some hum in his headphones when I transmit so I assume something is getting out. Any help would be appreciated. Max KZ8MAX
Great INFO!!! New Ham here. I was trying to get the MFJ 929 to interface with the ICOM 7300. At first the frequency on the MFJ 929 did not change from the default 0.000MHz. Then suddenly the MFJ 929 displayed the frequency that was on the ICOM 7300. But as I changed bands on the ICOM 7300 the display on the MFJ 929 just stayed on the last frequency it had. Is there anything that I'm doing wrong? Or is the MFJ 929 in need of repair? Thanks for any information!
There is another MIC + USB setting on the data out mode that you didn't scroll down to. That is the one that I usually use so that I can alternately use phone and data modes without changing from USB to MIC every time I want to change from phone to data or vice-versa. I didn't see that MIC + USB setting at first because it is hidden unless you arrow down.
Hi I have this same setup. The com 7300 and the MFJ 993B Tuner. Do you use the MFJ 5124I Cable too ? We ran into this no transmit problem with this radio on field day 2022.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Somehow doing a firmware update i decided to wipe my saved settings on my disk, well it was 5 am and i couldn't sleep and i'm kind of slow anyway so there ya go. Oh thanks so so much. Wish me luck. I had my radio set perfect with a friends help and lost everything.
I have a problem that is causing me to consider sending the 7300 in for repair. Let me explain. When I transmit, the receiver doesn't go to the receive mode immediately afterwards. It normally takes 5-10 seconds to hear the frequency again. Any ideas?
Mine, (1st one of these for me), is on the way! I have two quetions; I'm thinking the radio can be operated/used without the SD card? Where can I get a stylus pen like the one you're using to tap the screen with? And thanks for your video, and all other Icom 7300 videos as I am more accustomed to doorstops and cinderblocks in the realm of analog radios, lol!
hello maybe someone can help me my 7300 works great in digital modes ft8 ft4, but when i switch to SSB OR FM AM CW i have no sound at all i try squelch open still no sound, no external speaker sound either and if i unplug ext speaker the internal speaker no sound. but in the front on phones i plug speaker there and get sound and beeps normally so need help fixing this problem
I was out of town and saw a possibility of storms so foolishly asked XYL to disconnect the coax. She took it on herself to disconnect everything. Now I have power and sound but no transmission heard on any band. What has happened? KG5RVR
Hello dear friend.Nice video. Congratulations! Please tell me how can I do to apear on the screnn the bargraff falling in the scope wen I talk as You show. Thanks a lot. PY5MM Mauricio from Brazil

HI I have a new IC-7300 and am having trouble with the transceiver keeping the clock settings when it is turned off. It is less that two weeks old and other than that issue it works great. Any ideas? Jeff Berry K5JCB
Hi there can anyone tell me what it means when the power light on the power switch starts flashing, i am sure i have seen it in the manual before but i cant find it now is it something to do with recording the screen to SD card?...i turned it off and on again at it was ok...Fred g4vvq in uk. IC 7300
Thanks very much for sharing this information. I’ve been having trouble with presets (Normal and FT8) not seeming to work properly. If you have experience using presets on the ic-7300 I’d much appreciate hearing them. Thanks again and 73 (KK7CSC).
I watched all your videos and they are all excellent! Thank you. I would like to see a video using an external keyboard to operate RTTY on the Icom 7300. There is no way, I believe, to type a reply immediately after a reply to CQ without going to the onboard keyboard. It takes too long.
Although there is currently no option to do so, it should be very easy to add keyboard function to the IC-7300 using the RS-BA1 remote control software. I'm also disappointed that you can't scroll through the memory channels with the main tuning dial. Hoping that Icom will consider that in a future firmware update. Otherwise the radio is really nice.
Having prob getting laptop to talk to radio (by usb cable) Checked civ baud speed , com port.. anything I shud check for. Have f/w 1.30 RS-ba1 v2.11 TNX Ed W6AOA
Hi, my issue is that my SSB power is very low. Does not go over 10W even if power is turned to 100W and Mic gain at 74%. No pb in FM i can see the 100W. What do you recommend?
I have a question for you. I have just got the 7300 and I noticed that sometimes on the display I see a faint red word that tends to flicker on and off not all the time but sometimes. It shows up flickering faintly on the meter screen at the top of the screen between the Fil2 box and the SD card icon. It is very faint and it reads either QVF or OVF, Like I said this doesn't happen all the time and just comes and goes on various bands. I can't find anything in the manual on this. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
Burt Fisher just a little bit at first, after I turned the AF up. I was trying to keep the feedback down, for the folks that listen with headphones. I've watched many of your videos, so thanks for your "feedback".
I want to hear how ICOM explains all the issues they will have when all those touchscreen start failing and almost every radio they build these days has a touch screen. They will fail and they will give nothing but pathetic excuses.
It is so annoying to have a pompous video where the presenter "recommends" something that is in the manual as a "must". Why do you think you are doing the ham community a favour?
DrTeeth, I create these videos for people with all levels of experience. Some have not read the manual, or may not even own the radio yet, but they are watching to get more information about the IC-7300. As for whether or not I am doing the ham community a favor, I believe that I am operating under the Friendly portion of the Amateur Code, because I am offering "friendly advice and counsel to beginners; kind assistance, cooperation and consideration for the interests of others. These are the marks of the amateur spirit." Thanks for your feedback, and I hope you have a better day!

I thought my radio was broken until I watched your video! The Mic was not on and it was set to USB. Thanks so much!
Glad your video is still up. I had not used phone in a while and the Data Off Mod was set to USB. Great help. Thank you. AE9R
My gosh, you have saved me. I'm new with the 7300 and you spared me a bunch of stress. Thank you.

Thank you for the tips. I appreciate all the help with this computer radio. Analog radios are beautiful simplicity, but SDR's are the future it seems.
thank you for taking the time to make this helpful video!
I just ordered my IC 7300, this will help me in the future if I have any problems. Thanks
Thank you for the tip about the mic. I also thought something was wrong with the radio, turns out it was a wrong setting for FT-8. Thank you.
Great video, sure save me a lot of time trying to figure out why I didn't have any transmit audio, thanks.

Nice video, do know why there is a noise before audio when keying up on RS-BA1 remote? all 7300 radios do it . How can we we get rid of it? thanks.
Awesome video
Thanks for the feedback. More are on the way.

what size sd card is recommended for the ic 7300?
not got the radio yet (arriving tomorrrow) but thanks for the video, despite the static, what you have to say is good - thanks :)
"Static" = white noise = very relaxing for me.
I'm having problems getting my 7300 to function with Winlink or fldigi. It doesn't want to switch over to transmit. Any ideas?
Very very good.

Better late than never. Flashing power light means you are looking at a previously saved screen-grab, not at a live display.

yep, and when it does it will be 1000 dollars more and need plenty of software updates.

I have watched a dozen of these vidos. not on tells how to turn the volume up or down.
I heard no "feedback." When you say, "we", who else is involved?

Don't be an ass Burt hard as that may be
Shut up, Burp Fisher.
Looks more like an "assback" to me, thanks for the video.
Burt is a well known grouch and LID.
You go thru the menu items too fast, I can barely see what options you select. I canceled at 5 minutes.

Are there too many flaws in this radio? Should I steer away from this product? Why did Icom release this radio with all these flaws?
I want to hear how ICOM explains all the issues they will have when all those touchscreen start failing and almost every radio they build these days has a touch screen. They will fail and they will give nothing but pathetic excuses.
seems that would have showed up by now 3 years after launch or are you just a troll?
The touchscreen is LCD, and the lighting is LED. It should last a lifetime.
