Is it possible to route the USB output from the Icom IC-9700 to SDR-Radio?
If so, can someone point me towards instructions for doing it, please?
Thanks - Dave (G0DJA)

Well, I got SDR-Radio to recognise the 9700 by using "RIG2" in Omni-Rig, but now I can't get it to go back to the 7300...
I tried removing the 9700 from "RIG2" in Omni-Rig but the display still shows the 9700 display.

I found out why SDR-Radio would not reconnect to the 7300. I had another program (WSJT-X) running that was using the COM port.
I'm on another steep learning curve. LOL.

However, I have completely confused SDR-Radio now. The display says 50.313MHz in one part and 1296MHz in another.

You have your receiver set to 50.303 and your radio centre set to 1296Mhz. If you click within the spectrum or waterfall, your receiver will retune to within the currently selected passband of your radio.

It wasn't even that.

After a game of "close that, open that, close that" I found out that the RTL-Dongle had stopped working. I changed the RTL bandwidth, so it started working again, and closed and then re-opened SDR-Radio and it worked again.

The problem is that I'm trying to use two radios. One, an IC-7300, with an RTL-Dongle to a PTRX-7300 IF output board, and an IC-9700 which is an SDR radio in itself.

The setup I had messed up meant that SDR-Radio, via Omni-Rig, had part of the set up from the 7300 and part from the 9700.

When the RTL-Dongle decided to stop working and I'd still got Omni-Rig looking at the IC-9700 the display got confused, I guess, so one part said one thing and another said another thing...

However, going back to my original question. Can SDR-Radio get I/Q data from the IC-9700?

No, sadly not.
