-====== IC 7300 Settings for Digital ======
-This page describes how to adjust the settings on the IC-7300 to use digital modes like FT8, JS8, or Winlink.  To make it convenient to switch between digital and voice, we use an SD Card to save the settings and load them up when needed.
-So before doing anything, let's backup the current settings in case something goes wrong:
-  * Insert an SD Card in the radio.
-  * Go to <key>MENU</key> -> ''SD Card''
-  * The first time, ''Format'' the card. <wrap important>This will erase everything on the card.</wrap>
-  * Press ''Save Setting'' -> ''<<New File>>'' -> Pick a file name.
-Later on, these settings can be applied using the ''Load Setting'' option.
-===== Connector Settings =====
-Now that the settings are backed up, let tweak a few things.
-VA7FI has the following settings on his radio.  The settings in <fc #c0c0c0>light grey</fc> are there for reference only and can be different, but the settings in black should probably match these:
-|<key>MENU</key> -> ''SET'' -> ''Connectors'': ||

-===== Filter Settings =====
-Next, we adjust the filter width:
-  * Press ''FIL1'' (or ''FIL2'' or ''FIL3'') button at the top of the screen (above frequency) until it says ''FIL1''.
-  * Press and hold ''FIL1'' (yes, the same button as before).
-  * Press the <key>BW</key> button and turn the ''VFO'' knob until it says "3.6k"
-  * Then turn the ''TWIN PBT'' knob (top left) to adjust the boundaries to 600 and 2600 (the picture shows 650 and 3400).  This step can be tweaked anytime on the fly to filter out unwanted signals at the edge of the band.  This is useful if say you've got strong RTTY signals activating your [[wp>Automatic_gain_control |AGC]], thus reducing the strength of the signals you're interested in.
-  * Optionally, press ''FIL1'' again to also customize ''FIL2'' and ''FIL3''.
-  * When done, press the <key>MENU</key> button and select the screen you usually like to see (''SCOPE'', ''METER'', etc)
