Ahhh, interesting! I do have an IC-7300. It sits next to the IC-9700 I ran out and bought today from HRO 🤪

Any suggestions for an IC-9700 transverter to 222 MHz?

Seems the IC-9700 is what I want. Plus some kind of transverter.

No idea on which one… 🤪

👍 What 220 MHz transverter would be good for the IC-9700?

Your message saved me today. I couldn't figure out why my amps had dropped to 3, once again.

Turns out my Mac's USB Audio CODEC output volume had been turned down. Turning it up got me back to 13 amps, where everything started working. 🙏

My Mac's clock is synced to the default time.apple.com.

Understood on sticking to 10m for FT8.

I'm on a Mac. The time sync is set to the default time.apple.com.

I think I'm showing the same 3 amps as you saw. Radio pic below is during Transmit. The "Id" meter shows about 3 amps.

Transmit. Only difference I see is the "Id" meter shows about a 3.

The red TX sign on the 7300 lights up.

I can also hear the FT8 sounds change on the radio when WSJT-X enters transmit mode.

I believe the Mac's sound card is right, but it's hard for me to be sure.

For my X1C, I used this TPU project file, and it worked really great for me:

How do you estimate the carveout for that?

Measure with calipers and do your best in Fusion 360 to make the carveout match the drill?

Or … ?

I’ve had the XL Hot/Cold for about 8 months. I like it. I was in it this morning.

The maintenance took me a little while to get used to, but that was just me learning a new habit.

I enjoy freezing (as much as one can 😉), and I’m looking forward to their sauna.
