5 Homebrew Build of a Force Touch Sensing Morse Code Paddle

Video #5 – After interviewing Tim Keen K5DEZ back in 2020, he suggested I homebrew a simple Morse code paddle from a design he came up with. Tim’s design was inspired by an article in QST Magazine by Art Heft K8CIT. He posted information about the project on the Summits on the Air reflector, here:
https://reflector.sota.org.uk/t/anyone-tried-morse-stick-key/19392/19
This the first video of a series of livestreams sessions I did where I built this paddle.

SETUP Your Icom IC-7300 for WSJT-X/FT8 – EASY Beginners Guide

In this tutorial I walk you through the step-by-step process of configuring your Icom IC-7300 for seamless operation with WSJT-X and popular digital modes like FT8. These are my personal radio settings that I use for use with FT8, WSPR and other modes that have proven to help me make thousands of contacts in WSJT-X, ensuring you get the most out of your IC7300.

Icom IC-7300 USB driver 👉 https://www.icomjapan.com/support/firmware_driver/1974/

Level up your Icom IC-7300 here 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSuX83ay4OujxQFBseO9-dQCY6NOdBwXt

⏱️Chapters⏱️
0:00 Setup your IC-7300 for WSJT-X
0:24 Radio Settings
2:48 USB Drivers
3:33 COM Port and USB Audio
5:17 WSJT-X Settings
7:35 Adjusting RX Audio Level
8:07 Set your Filters WIDE
8:58 TX Audio Level & ALC

Additional notes:
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
