- What are the best Icom 7300 TBW settings? My personal preference is WIDE and MID. See my custom settings on my website: www.k0pir.us/best-icom-7300-tr...
In this video I just show Hams how to change the WIDE, MID and NAR TBW values. There's a demonstration of the receive filter bandwidth. Also suggestions for listening to your transmit audio. There are no samples, sorry. There are some samples of transmit audio using the NAR TBW. See: www.k0pir.us/icom-7300-microph...
This video is part of a article on my website: www.k0pir.us/best-icom-7300-tr...
I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. I have a lot of fun. On my RUclips channel I upload videos mostly on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 as well as Ham Radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to get involved in Amateur Radio.

Another remarkable feature of the 7300 that i simply did not know existed. Thank you again!
Fred, K8IG
Fred Freer thank you for coming by and watching and thank you so much for commenting. I sincerely appreciate it and I’m glad you found this helpful. The 7300 is a remarkable transceiver. Best wishes, good DX and 73!
Great video Rich. To the point and very informative. I have the 7300 and the 9700 so this is great. I’m new to all of this. Just passed my General and studying for the damned Extra! Guys like you keep me encouraged to pass the Extra and start to actually learn things! Thank you sir
Got my Extra!
Thank you! GREAT material for the NEW, Non-Technical Owner of 7300!
Hi Dan, thank you for watching and thank you so much for the comment. I appreciate the input. That 73!
Great Video, Just got this RIG it has so many great features!
Thank you and it's nice of you to comment.
The 7300 is a game changer in Amateur Radio. I just started using the IC-7610 and the 7300 holds its own.
People tell me my 7610 sounds like my 7300, hi hi. I'm happy I kept it.
Best 73's,

Hey, thank you for this helpful video. It walked me through some critical audio settings so I'll be sure to check out any other videos posted on the 7300. Cheers!! Robert - ZL2JED
Hi Robert, thanks for viewing and thank you so much for commenting. Best 73!
Very Informative as always
Hi Philip,
Nice to hear from you and thank you. Yes, a little back to the basics and new users of the 7300 will love the simplicity of this function. Thanks again and 73's - Rich, K0PIR
Nice job Rich!
Hi Eliot,
Nice to see you on here and thank you. Best wishes to you and yours - Rich, K0PIR
Excellent video - you got to the point without us having to hear about your entire family history :P
Nice to hear from you James and thank you. You sound like me, hi! Best 73! - Rich, K0PIR
how rude.
Amen James! So refreshing to have a very informative video without all of thee preamble about the weather and their family! I’m new to Rich’s videos and I have the 7300. He’s great and I am subscribing.
It’s also very specific to what microphone you’re using as well.
Thank you for commenting. Yes, I believe so. I've used a few different mics with it and that wide setting probably wouldn't work with my old mic. It was a dynamic mic and today I'm using an electret boom mic. My favorite right now is the Yamaha CM500: amzn.to/2yzgPIb
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Best 73 - Rich
Thanks for nice video and inform share, I'm using 100 - 2900 work great with TS-590 and PR-40.
Hi and thank you very much. I'll bet that's a great combination. Those Kenwoods have excellent transmit audio, and I wish I never got rid of my TS-570s. Combined with my Heil BM I got a lot of compliments as I'm sure you do. Thank you again, best 73 - Rich, K0PIR
Ham Radio with K0PIR you are right it's great rig. I do use it hardly in digital mode all day long with no problems and it's hold it very well. But I think it's look bit old nowadays, specially when we see new rig come to the market with screen SDR. See you on the air A61CP.
Appreciate your total band width information. Interested in 60 meters, which has stringent rules for using a maximum of 2.8 kilo -hertz transmit bandwidth setting. What is your suggestion on settings for my IC7300 TBW (mid)?
Nice to hear from you and thank you for commenting. Sorry for the delay. I was out of town. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I did not have data coverage in the Park.
I normally use, 300-2700 on my radio. Perfectly nice audio.
Thanks and 73,
Rich, K0PIR
Could we see a vid on the FM setting please Wide\Narrow FM dev\filters,thanks!
Sorry I missed your comment when you made it. That's a good idea and I will see what I can do. I don't do much on FM, but it sounds interesting. I have been on FM before, but it was a while back. I'll have to look for an FM net. Thanks for the idea and I hope to hear from you again. Best 73! - Rich, K0PIR
Nice Video... Love this Rig...
Hi Tony,
I used mine camping this weekend and it is just a great all around rig.
Nice to hear from you and thank you for commenting.

Ham Radio with K0PIR What antenna are you using when your camping. I did the 13 colonies and got a clean sweep and the two bonus stations this week, it took me 4 days. My call sign is KE8CDD.
Hi Tony,
Congrats and that's awesome.
This weekend I was using the Tarheel 200A on my vehicle. I just run a coax from it to my camper. Sometimes I put up and inverted vee.
I ran a net in the morning from the camper and then used an Elecraft KX2 to make some QRP contacts.
Very hot weekend here, 100+.
Rich, K0PIR
Thanks for doing this. What is your mic gain and compression for DX?
VK2LHC my mic gain was usually around 30 and compression probably 3. Thanks for watching Best 73!
@@HamRadioAdventures Thanks for the reply.
Thanks, I just love this radio.

Nice to hear from you. I agree!
I find the best way to hear what your audio sounds like is to use the record function on web sdr. Most web sdr need Firefox or Chrome browsers to do this. I don't know if IE browser has fixed this because I haven't used IE for years as a default browser. Next time your on a web sdr, look for the record function. I always use the widest filter on my 7300, I'm a rag chewer more than DX'er, with either the SM20, SM30 or cheap Chinese BM-800, all solicit great audio reports.
Hi Paul, thanks for commenting here and thanks for the tip. That's a great idea! I have used those before and remember doing that a long time ago. It really works! Thanks and best 73 - Rich, K0PIR
So an nice radio, that we can have in that centaury , we have so long wait ..around 150 years electronics devloopment.. Like a Star -the direct sampler happyness , i think i must buy icom papers..

How do you know what your transmit watts are on the 7300?
Hi Phil, nice to hear from you. Tap the meter until you see "MET Po" and that will set your meter to power output. Page 3-10 of the full manual. Best 73!
If you are using FT8 you should use wide 100 - 2900 if you want to use the full bandwidth on TX
That does not matter if you use rig control. The software will change the frequency and always transmit the tones at 1500 Hz.
Will not transmitit compression on a m nor can you adjust bandwidth on am
Can it go 0-3000 or just 50-2900?
No, just what is shown. 100 - 2900 Hz. Thanks and 73 - Rich, K0PIR.us
How many kh wide will the Icom 7300 go ?
Thank you for the question. Transmit 2.8 kH wide SSB. 73!
Both my TBW and my compression buttons are grayed out, what could cause this?
Thanks for watching and commenting. What mode is the radio in?
Ha ha I was in AM mode, you led me to my own problem. I just got this radio yesterday,, trying to learn it. I’m like a pig on skates 🐷
What bandwidth is the Icom 7300 in AM Mode?
Be nice if the low end adjustment went down to 50 and the high end up to 4000 .
Unfortunately not with the 7300. I hope all is well with you and take care. Best 73!
Everyone sounds good on these radios on SSB but nobody seems to find a sweet AM setting? Can it make respectable AM? The menu for AM not explored on this video, bummer
I got a device that you connect to your antenna connection then connect your coax to it...plug a pair of headphones to it...and you get a good idea of what your transmit audio sounds like.
isn't there a monitor that you could connect headphones and hear the audio right out of the radio instead ?
Hi Aleziss,
Thanks for commenting. With the headphones attached there is a monitor on the radio that is useful. It's activated using the Multi knob and the menu. The monitor volume can be set from there. See: ruclips.net/video/9oCiz5yKes0/видео.htmlm28s
The other way I have monitored my TX audio is by using a second receiver. There's no other way that I know of.
Thanks again and I hope that is the answer you were looking for.
73,
Rich, www.K0PIR.us
so to confirm, when you monitor yourself with headphones, you WILL hear changes made in the EQ section right ?
Yes EQ and TBW adjustments are noticeable, but it is still not the transmit audio. It is very helpful though. I like it because it gives me a good starting point in adjustments, helps me to determine if I am too close to the mic, whether my audio is clear, how my voice sounds and so on. Very helpful.
It's better to listen on a second receiver or ask another ham to record your TX audio and send it to you. I have done that many times and am happy to do it for others.
Best 73!
Thanks for all the replies ! I've been silent for at least 15 years and I am tempted by a 7300 that has a "nice" rebate that ends july 15th... This is going to be a lot different than what I used to do with my FT847 (that I should have never sold) on satellites with a hygain oscar antenna kit and a g5600 (when there used to be a couple ones working on analog), contacted MIR and ISS space station, meteor scatter and weak signal on vhf and 6m with my home brew 3 el yagi using WSJT with my own home made sound card interface PC to 847...
I stopped because most of the satellites died, P3D failed a couple days or week after lauch, ao10 (my favorite) died too and I think also fo20 or 21... so I had to invest, again, a lot of money to go higher in frequency, get up/dn converters, bunch of antennas, more coax... and then I had to leave the house where the shack was installed... so I got rid of everything besides my g5600, 350' of 9913 coax and my old 50 amp stabilex psu...
One thing that started to bug me a little is the amount of qsl cards that I needed to be filled and return... I mean, I just wanted to have a nice contact, exchange a little bit and that is all but it seems the other party wanted me to reply all those cards and that seems pretty serious...
I am really hesitant in getting the 7300 as it is quite a bit of money (maybe even more in the near future with the trade "disaster" with US), not knowing much about what I'll find on the hf bands... I mean all those years I've miss doing radio and thought about it many times... is ti the time now ? On top of having limitation to install HF antennas, maybe a g5rv 1/2 on the side of my house that has aluminium sheating...
So I watch a lot of videos like yours, get tempted to try it again and have fun on the air ! Sorry about the long reply, but again, thanks for always replying to my questions !
73 !
Your welcome and that is good to hear. You will enjoy the Icom 7300. I think it is the best radio in that price range for many things.
I have never done any satellite work, but have seen it demonstrated a few times and it is an area I would like to try. Someday!
Thank you gain and best 73. - Rich, www.K0PIR.us
When using a second receiver, plug your headphones into that, and then no feedback.
Great to hear from you Fr. Marty! Good catch, thanks and 73 and good DX! de Rich
A users friendly rig
HI,
Thank you for commenting. I agree, I think it is very user friendly. It's the touch screen for me :-)
