I’ve tried to look up the possible discrepancies. I hope that these new instructions are correct. Again, if not, my apologies.

1. My Call Sign

   [MENU] → SET → My Station → My Call Sign

   Enter up to six callsigns; Terminal mode (ID‑52A PLUS) has separate TM call sign setting.

2. Enable Digital Repeater Auto‑Set (Optional)

Sorry about that 🙁 I don’t have mine anymore so I can’t check which ones are wrong. I’ll try to get my hands on a manual and recheck. Again, apologies.

Some of your directions for menu items are not worded as they are on my radio screens.

RE the 7300, it feels like almost a decade old, wait, it is! Incredible how time flies. As for the 705, I’ll tell you what I like: there’s a singular sensation associated with accomplishing the harder tasks in life and QRP is one of those. The feeling of going out into one’s garden—never mind the highest peaks—and cranking out five minuscule…

I have friends with the 705,,, they all like it.

I am an Icom guy, but with old stuff–a 706, a 7800, and a 7300. Is the 7300 old stuff now?😀

That’s it, I fell prey. At Hamcation this February I bought an Icom IC-705. I made my first QSO on the first day from my balcony with 5W; contact was in Missouri on 20M! Thrilled. I am now going to try it out on the back end of a RM Italy ±350W linear. Will revert with details. Anyone else have a 705? Anyone considering one?

Many have purchased, and continue to purchase, the ICOM IC-7300. As one of the first SDR rigs, it was, and continues to be, wildly popular despite some complaints regarding the rig’s front-end performance. What are your thoughts? Specifically, I’d like to hear about your experiences with:

I did get some stuff programmed into the radio. After the Marine Corps Marathon is done I will have time again to do some more and better learn the radio. Thank you for the assistance.

By the way, tried to make the previous post look good, formatting-wise, but darn it looks bad. Sorry about that.

Okay, here goes. I’ve tried to compile some instructions from multiple sources. I will separately post some links, but here first is a summary of steps with some preliminary background.

D-Star, as you likely know already, stands for Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur Radio. Some people don’t realize that it was actually developed by the…

Thank you very much.

I feel you. It is a little daunting at first. I’m in a meeting right now. As soon as I’m done, I’ll look through my old links, revisit them, and see if I can come up with just a couple of easy to understand but useful resources for you. It’ll be good for the thread also, others might benefit.

Back later.

I am trying to get the HT programmed for use with the DStar system and then how to actually use the DStar system. I want to be able to do direct connect to DStar repeaters and as well as setup the HT to go through my home internet or another internet source when a DStar repeater is not in range.

The RTSystems program software is a bit…

Hi Richard,

Do you have a specific issue or do you need general scope help? Or, … do you need hands on help from someone?

I ask because there are some extremely good materials both online and in print introducing D-Star and setup. I have not been using it for about four or five years, but when I needed to first set up my IC-5100, I admit I…

Anyone here familiar with Icom’s DStar and getting setup to operate DStar?

Yes. There was a typo. Corrected to: “diagram for wiring a PC headset” I am not looking for pin-outs of connectors. Lacking a diagram, I will work from the pin-outs and make (and test) my own diagram.

Where do I find a correct diagram for wiring a PC headset (2 separate stereo 3.5mm plugs) to the microphone jack of an Icom 7600?

Always with the easy questions 😅

Unless I’m missing something, none of the microphone pins are outputs. Bizarre. I found the connections here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1278421/Icom-Ic-7600.html?page=26

Also check page 27.

In the words of my buddy Andy, am I missing something?
