Setting your ICOM IC-7300
for use with an Amplifier
The ICOM IC-7300 is an excellent transceiver. When you interface an IC-7300 with other
equipment, specifically a Linear Amplifier, you must make some adjustments to some of
the menu options in the radio to allow the transceiver and amplifier to be smoothly
integrated.
For the IC-7300:
(from Page 8-3 in the IC-7300 User Manual)
DX Engineering recommends you set both the HF and 50M Delay settings to 15 msec.
Further, we also recommend setting the CW waveform rise time to 6 msec:
(from Page 4-21 in the 7300 Full Manual (from the CD ROM)
(from Page 4-21 in the IC-7300 Full Manual - from the CD ROM)
These settings will prevent hot-switching of your amplifier and provide smooth keying.
