Daniel, thank you so much for this!! I wish I'd seen it prior to the contest ... anyway, can you show an example of using the Digital Engine to do an actual QSO? I was able to receive during the contest, but could never figure out how to get my transmit frequency to match up correctly. I know its more like CW than PSK31 or FT8, but do you have to physically turn the vfo to get the frequencies matched up on the waterfall? Thanks, again, and 73, Troy K4JDA
Fantastic Troy! Glad you benefited from the video. Great suggestion on the actual qso demonstration. I will make that video and post it. I have some vacation time coming up and have to get some things done before I leave. I will try to get that made in the next couple of weeks. I am sure one of my local ham friend scan get on and help me make the demonstration. Cheers! 73, Dan K3TEF
Thanks for the tutorial. I have everything set up as you described in the video. I am only having one issue and hopefully you'll be able to help. I am using the exact same equipment as you and here is my issue. I can only decode when my 7300 is in RTTY mode and not USB-D. I cannot TX while in RTTY mode, only get a single tone, However, I can transmit when my 7300 is in USB-D mode, but not decode. Can you share your 7300 settings and possibly shed some light as to where my settings are incorrect? Thanks for the awesome radio. BTW, everything else is working just fine, thanks to your video Dennis, W4DWS
Hey Dennis, sorry I didn't see this till now. your decode should be purely using the audio codec that the Icom drivers provide and show up in your available sound devices. go to digital engine and in the configure tab in the nav bar there is a menu called "Sound" or just hot key Alt+S and in the configure sound menu make sure you select the correct audio codec profiles for your 7300. you can use usb mode on the radio instead of usb-d. usb-d removes a lot of the ssb filtering so it doesn't effect your sample audio and adversely affect your decodes. usb-d also allows you to select a separate profile for you to use the usb as the input of the mode rather than your mic port for ssb. I hope that explanation helped, Cheers K3TEF
Thanks so much for putting this great documentation together Dan! I really appreciate it and I know it will help many others! Well done!

make sure also that when you are in usb-d mode that your ic-7300 -> (menu->set->connectors->Data Mod = "USB")
Isn't there a easier way? LOL
Very nice tutorial video I ought to try out this one thank you so much. 73 de KH2ZZ
