Use the USB connector to get your audio from your computer when in data mode (USB-D). This new option was technically unnecessary, but many people were confused by the DATA OFF and DATA (ON) options, and were getting no audio when switching between Digital and Microphone modes. Note that the versions of the 7300 firmware after late 2017 have added an option for this setting called MIC, ACC. This would normally be your microphone (MIC) when in regular USB/LSB modes. This option tells your IC-7300 which audio input source (modulation) to use when the DATA mode is OFF. The value is also related to your output power. This value can vary depending on your software. This should assure you have a clean output signal. Set this so that you get a minimal ALC meter reading when transmitting. Depending on your software, you may want to change this. This affects the Audio Level heard by your computer. Set UP your IC-7300 for Digital Modes Connectors Settings

Windows will try to auto-install its own driver if you simply plugin the USB cable from the 7300 to the computer, and that one doesn’t work with the Icom USB interface.

Be sure that you first download and install the Icom USB driver beforeconnecting your 7300 to the Windows computer the very first time. It is easiest to connect the IC-7300 using a single USB cable. See my other posts that address the specifics of DXLab Commander and HRD. These settings might be different for DXLab Commander and Ham Radio Deluxe. (e.g., BPSK31 using Ham Radio Deluxe Digital Master 780, fldigi, WSJT-X) These settings seem to work equally well with most digital modes, and digital mode software. It’s early days, but would I recommend this radio? Yes I would, because for the price ($399AUD) you’re getting a dual band & dual mode (FM & C4FM) radio.This post shows the settings I use with my IC-7300 for digital modes over the USB connection from the 7300 to a Windows computer.
