I have a lot of rigs. Receive audio is really important to me and a characteristic of the best radios. My IC-7300 is easy to use, but its receive audio is inferior to nearly every rig in my shack. My

Re: recommendation for HF rig
I use a FT-991A.? The IC-7300 is a great radio but I like the 991A for it's coverage.? The 7300 is HF+6, the 991A is HF+6+VHF+UHF.? This means that I can run a VARA HF session and with just a few

Re: Frustrated, can't get WinLink Vara to talk to IC 7300
Dick, The Radio Configuration is a menu under the Settings menu of the VARA HF WInlink Session Window, the VARA HF window only manages the Sound Card. The 7300 requires a special Serial Port driver.

Re: recommendation for HF rig
I've used VARA (Winlink, VarAC) on the IC-7300, the IC-7100, the IC-7200, the FT-991A and the FT-891. By far the easiest rig to configure and run with VARA is the IC-7300. The IC-7100 is a close

FWIW, I run an Icom IC-7100 here. It is pretty small, puts out 100 Watts on HF, works great with VARA HF (et al), and can also do VHF/UHF. My 7100 has become my goto digital rig at home. Cheers, Ken

Re: recommendation for HF rig
We have folks using the IC-7300 and FT-991 & FTDX-10? Just make sure you have a built in sound card W/usb. Use USB cables with a ferrites. HF speed usually won¡¯t be over 3-500 bps so internal works
