How to set up SWL to communicate with IC7300?

[EA3GCV]

Hello Tom,

I highly suggest you to use OmniRig as TRX option in Swisslog, this way you could share rig control with other applicattions at once (WSJT-X, MixW, Cw skimmer, etc) with no COM port conflicts. Further more, you can configure 2 radios in OmniRig and you can switch from one radio to another with a simple click in the transceiver toolbar.

If you still want to configure your IC-7300 directly in Swisslog, you have to make sure to set a fixed baud rate in your Icom menu options (avoid the automatic option, i.e. 19200). Also make sure the IC-V transceiver option in your radio menu is OFF and USB serial function is set to CI-V. Set same baud rate in Swisslog. If your Icom is on transmission after setting up your radio,  you will have to disable RTS line in the COM port parameters. Start bit 8, stop bit 1 and parity none.
