- In this video we show you exactly how to setup your Icom IC-9700 for use with WSJT-X and to use digital modes such as FT8, JT65 or WSPR. Step by step instruction on what options to set in the IC-9700 menus and what settings are required in the WSJT-X software. These are my settings that work perfectly for WSJT-X.

Thanks Hayden. Just got mine yesterday and this video made it super easy to get on the air with wsjt-x
Glad it helped!
Good instructions, easy to understand and well made. Thanks
Thanks mate 👍
This video made my day! I have been beating my head against a "no TX" issue until I followed this video. Thanks a bunch from Lou KT1R in West Virginia. Stay safe and catch you on EME some day. 73's es TNX absolutely LOVE the IC-9700, great technology (too much to learn, Hi Hi)
Thanks Lou! Glad the video helped. Please share and subscribe. 73
Thanks, guys...just what I needed!

I've never done data so my questions are what software and what cables?

Hi Haden
'
good video , I have been using my 9700 with q65 with Rex but some thing is wrong today with strange noises from speaker
not the usual warble , all setting with Transceiver and WSJTX appear to be ok , but i am not decoding Bryan VK7KWB
Did this video help? How are you finding your IC-9700? Leave a comment below with your thoughts!
Great video.
I have a IC 7300 so it was quite similar with a few differences. Thanks
Great video guys. Cheers & 73, KD9LTQ We've actually put up a fairly high wall to keep coconuts out of the US. It's silly and horribly xenophobic, but there are those who simply, irrationally, hate coconuts. And so it goes...
Thanks Karl for the comment.
thanks for the video, having used the 7300 i did get to a point of wsjtx working with the 9700 but this was a good way to validate my settings, thanks again ! 73 2E0FWE
Hi Hayden, I'm just getting started with FT8 on my IC-9700. I noticed the frequencies suggested by WSJT-X for 2m, 70, 23cm are different to what the WIA band plan indicates. For example, the band plan indicates 144.320 rather than 144.120 on 2m. What has been your experience with international DX QSOs with FT8 on those bands? Do you use the WSJT-X frequencies or the band plan frequencies? 73's Daryl VK3MCB
G'day Daryl,
I stick with the bandplan, so 144.320 MHz.
International DX on 2, 70 and 23 is really by appointment anyway to NZ. I don't think I have ever worked FT8 across to ZL? Anyway, if you head into the software, settings > frequencies and right click on a frequency I think you can add a new one so that it appears in the WSJT-X drop down list.
Hope that helps!

@@HamRadioDX Ok, thanks Hayden, that makes sense. Will give that a try.
Thanks for a great video..my 9700 is all set up..
Now I need to see who can help me test it..73,Larry K6ro
I want the IC-9700 for receiving digital sats. Is it true the 9700 does not have enough bandwidth to receive 9600 baud signals? Thanks, CE4JDM
Any idea if you can do dual band WSJT simultaneously with the 9700?
I don't think you can as the 9700 only really has one set of COM ports for use. They can't be used by two lots of the application at the same time.
Gday mate looking into getting one of these would you still rate this radio as good 4yrs later?
Yep 100% great radio!
@@HamRadioDX what antenna would you recommend im based in central highlands of tassie?
@@danielmcarthur6200What are you interested in? Just working repeaters, weak signal SSB? Satellites?
@HamRadioDX not 100percent sure yet just a beginner ill most likely start with repeaters there is one here eventually cover everything that radio is capable of
@@danielmcarthur6200 The 9700 is probably massive overkill for just repeaters! You can probably find a much cheaper radio for that.
Dear , at 2:14 "connectors" we can see 2/4 , on mine I have only 3/3 options ... can you explain that ? thank you
Hi, what version of firmware are you running on your radio?
@@HamRadioDX Thanks, now updated
@@HamRadioDX Thank you its done
Smashed the like and monitor fell over... dam it.
🤣
Helpful - thanks... but... even though all settings agree, and test-cat and test-ptt operate normally, I get no audio in from WSJT and no power out from the radio, on transmit (tune, or enable). Selecting a different mode (RTTY) I can confirm the radio is putting out, but not in USB-D. I am used to using WSJT thru HRD on my 7300, which works fine. Scratching my head - going to methodically compare data settings between 7300 and 9700, hoping any difference would be a clue .... de K1VI
Comparing radios not so easy ... the menu structures are more different than I expected.
Are the USB audio codecs selected in WSJT-X as the output and input sound devices? Do you have USB set as the connector in the radio?
Can you use this rig on Ubuntu wsjtx? 9700 doesn’t appear to be on the list
Double check you have the latest version of WSJT-X compiled
Yep... might be the problem. The current version doesn’t have an easy install. Down the Linux rabbit hole I go
Split should be Rig or Fake it to avoid TX audio harmonics
TX ALC should be set to between 30% to 50% as per the rig's manual
No, not on digital modes. The video is correct. ALC should not activate. This is as per the WSJT set up instructions from Joe Taylor.
@@waltonwader6449 you are wrong - read the manual that comes with the radio.. Read the reviews - the rig does not splatter at all at 50% or more ALC showing..
@@waltonwader6449 czcams.com/video/E9skTDw8SXM/video.html
Read the manual..
This video is outdated. Firmware upgrades to IC-9700 changed the menus completely to the point where you cannot follow this video and have it work.
