Got a Icom IC-7300 you want to use on digital? I will show you exactly how to setup your Icom IC-7300 for use with WSJT-X and other digital modes such as FT8. These are my settings on my radio that work perfectly for WSJT-X.
**See below details on CI-V control and Split**
The baudrate you use in WSJT-X is dependant on if CI-V USB Port is set to Unlink from [Remote] or Link to [Remote].
Link to [Remote] = Use the CI-V Baud Rate on Page 1 of the CI-V menu
Unlink from [Remote = Use the CI-V USB Baud Rate on Page 2 of the CI-V Menu
**When setting Split in WSJT-X**
"Either method (Rig or Fake it) will result in a cleaner transmitted signal, by keeping the Tx audio always in the range 1500 to 2000 Hz so that audio harmonics cannot pass through the Tx sideband filter"

In this video I show where you can get high quality printed circuit boards from PCBWay.com.
https://www.pcbway.com/
My repeater projects have required me to make some VOTER and frequency reference PCB boards. After a lot of searching I tried out PCBWay and I’m very happy with the results.
As well as PCB’s they offer a variety of services for those interested in electronics and prototyping including manufacturing of high quality printed circuit boards, PCB assembly services, SMD stencil, CNC and 3D printing.

Antennas-Amplifiers make high quality HF/VHF/UHF high power capability yagi’s as well as other ham radio accessories such as band pass filters, low noise amplifiers, power splitters and more!
Today I review the replacement antenna for my remote site, the PA144-432-19-3-2CAP antenna which is a dualband 2m/70cm yagi on a single boom with two separate connectors. How well are these antennas built and what kind of performance can you expect?
