[ICOM] FT8 with IC 7800

[Jim Wilhite]

Make a note of all the settings for RTTY then download, configure WSJT-X and 
make it work.  I think you can save settings for both modes on a CF card 
can't you?

I have both MMTTY and WSJT-X on my Win 7 computer and use both on my 
IC-7300.  I assume you have some sort of very accurate clock program on your 
computer?  If you don't you will need it for FT-8.

I don't have any kind of logging program or control for an amp or rotator 
but you can make all that work with some reading and work.

I'm not much of a computer operator, but would think you could use the
same computer you use for RTTY by downloading the WSJT-X program and
opening that instead of your RTTY software? I'm sure that over
simplifies the process!
