Dick,
The 7300 requires a special Serial Port driver. Hopefully you have
already installed it before plugging the radio's USB cable to the
computer, as Windows will load a driver that won't work for you?
If not you will need to down load it from ICOM's website ()?and
follow the installation instructions they provide
?
There is nothing "special" about this driver!?
It is a six-year-old version of the standard driver for the
Silicon Labs (a,k.a. "Silabs") CP-210x? chip used in many
USB<-->serial "dongles". ? It is widely used by all three
major Japanese radio mfrs (Kenwood, Yaesu and Icom) for
serial-over-USB memory programming, CAT controls and sound card
PTT keying.
