Re: Baseband IQ from ICOM 7300

I got the 12 kHz IF output of the 7300 to SDRSharp by using the baseband source. There is no equivalent setting for the 7300 on SDRC so I started this topic.

Re: Baseband IQ from ICOM 7300

I believe an entry for the ICOM IC-7300 Baseband would have to be added to use the existing ICOM Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge Com port driver.

I must say, though, the SDR# Audio plugins do an effective job.

Re: Baseband IQ from ICOM 7300

Thanks for the reference. It shows instructions for loading a driver for the IC-8600 baseband. I tried to add the ICOM IC-8600 in SDRC Select Radio but it comes back with "Sorry no 'ICOM IC-8600' radios wee found"

Re: Baseband IQ from ICOM 7300

The question is about to SDR Console. Is this baseband input feature available with SDR Console? I just used SDRSharp as an example.

RX-888 Mk2 not working

I occasionally use my RX-888 Mk2. I just loaded Simons's latest v3.2 SDRC software and tried it out. The RX-888 Mk2 was not discovered. I tried my original RX-888 ad that is working. I believe the hardware has issues. Can anyone suggest any troubleshooting tips for my Mk2? All of my SDR receiver is ...

RX-888 Gain Question

I just received my RX-888. Since I like to listen to the bands by "tuning around" I will enjoy exploring a wide swath of spectrum. I connected it to my wife's I7 laptop since my I5 has difficulty about 4MHz of bandwidth. I connected my 160Meter Inverted-L and monitored form the LF band to ...
