So then, which is it?Īlso, I read that the USB data option should be used on the Icom, but when I do that, the waterfall on both programs black out and I can no longer see nor can I decode signals with the data option enabled. I have also read that transceiver wattage should be no more than 30 watts, but then the volume on the PC should be adjusted to transmit. I have read that one should turn the wattage to a full 100 and then control output with the master volume on the computer. The rig indicates a transmission, but there is clearly no transmission taking place. I can decode just fine, but it doesn't seem to transmit. I've been attempting to use the programs JT65-HF (I know it's outdated) and WSJT-X. It doesn't need an interface, such as a signalink for most modes (I think RTTY is a mode that is not supported natively by the Icom).
One reason I purchased the Icom is for that reason.
I have an Icom 7410 that I am not using (it's a backup) and thought I would implement it as a digital/CW rig. I'm slowly learning CW, but in the meantime I thought I would tinker with digital modes. Since I finished DXCC and WAS, I am not as enthusiastic about the phone portions of the bands.
