To use these advanced features, you have to select the IC-7300 as transceiver.
The IC-7300 has a quite good user interface, but some settings can be made quicker and more comfortable with a computer. For the correct function, you have to uses a fast USB connection between the computer and the IC-7300
The frequency readout for VFO A/B is clickable. A click on a digit will increase or decrease the VFO frequency accordingly. Click in the upper part to increase, click the lower part to decrease.
The trx internal voice keyer can’t be activated via CAT. When you use the RUMlog voice keyer, the audio input source can be toggled during transmission. See *Preferences–>TRX–>Transceiver Specific–>Settings
In the upper right hand corner, you can find the table for quick memories. Pressing the + button saves a set of currently used frequency, mode, filter, RIT, XIT and split information. Double click a row to send these data back to the transceiver. The data are not editable.
Just press the Enter key to tune VFO A, VFO B or set the split:
RUMlog provides functions, not included in the IC-7300’s firmware yet:
The fixed edge pairs are searched in the sequence 1-2-3. The first matching pair will be selected
You can set date and time of the internal clock to your computers time using the provided buttons. The adjustment will be made at the next full minute! To indicate this, the buttons become disabled in this time.
16 CAT command macros are provided for your convenience. Additionally, 4 automatic executed macros are available. These will be triggered by an operating mode change. You have to enter the full hex code sequence. (i.e. “FE FE 94 E0 21 01 01 FD” for switching RIT on)
Use the buttons on the lower edge to execute or edit your macros
Shortcuts:
These are usable, when the window has the focus.
A simplified scope can be shown on your screen. The width is fixed to 475 pixels and the resolution is just 7 bits. The scope window can be scaled, but the image is just zoomed.
The CW memories can be edited using Menu–>Transceiver–>Edit CW memories (not IC-7300 specific)
You can set and read some basic functions and furthermore you are able to
A complete table content can be saved to disk for a later rewriting to the transceiver.
In the memory table, you can use the mouse to drag and drop one or multiple entires for resorting.
Wrong or useless entries may be ignored by the transceiver. RUMlog just checkes if an entered frequency matches the band.
