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 MENU → SD Card
• The first time, Format the card. This will erase everything on the card.
• Press Save Setting → ❝New File❞ → Pick a file name.

Later on, these settings can be applied using the Load Setting option.

Now that the settings are backed up, let tweak a few things.

VA7FI has the following settings on his radio. The settings in light grey are there for reference only and can be different, but the settings in black should probably match these:

Next, we adjust the filter width:

• Press the FIL1 (or FIL2 or FIL3) button at the top of the screen (above the frequency) and select FIL1.
• Press and hold FIL1 (yes, the same button as before).
• Press the BW button and turn the VFO knob until it says “3.6k”
• Then turn the inner and outer TWIN PBT knobs (top left) to adjust the boundaries to 600 and 2600 (even though the picture shows 650 and 3400).¹⁾
• Optionally, press FIL1 again to also customize FIL2 and FIL3 in the same fashion.
• When done, press the MENU button and select the screen you usually like to see (SCOPE, METER, etc)
