In this video, I show the waterfall display options I use on the Icom IC-705 to find weak signal stations. This not only works for the IC-705 but also the IC-7300 and IC-9700.
What settings do you use? Please let me know in the comments below.

Thanks for posting this ... I have had my IC 705 for a couple of years and never set the waterfall to look this great. Great help!

@HamRadioDX Месяц назад

Glad it helped!

@peterkerr4704 3 года назад

Oh thank goodness for this. I have a ic-705 , a ic-9700 and an ic-7300 and have been struggling to get good settings on my waterfalls. The manuals are rubbish for noobs like myself so this is a game changer for me thank you again

@KD2ZTA 9 месяцев назад

I use the settings you prescribe. Thanks for taking the time to post!

@HamRadioDX 9 месяцев назад

Glad it was helpful!

@jamiecook5066 3 года назад

Nice video on how to change the spectrum scope on the IC-7300. I really like it. I changed mine to match your settings and it really helps find those weak signals!!!

@darylw-m9549 2 года назад

Some helpful tips and clearly explained Hayden, thanks.

@aldimore 3 года назад

I have run mine with the out of the box setup until now. This is one useful video. Thanks so much Hayden.

@HamRadioDX 3 года назад

Thanks Aldi, it makes the screen pop that little bit more too :)

@robphillips5945 3 года назад

That's awesome..mine now looks a lot better on my ic 7300 after watching this. Great video..top job 👍

@HamRadioDX 3 года назад

Thanks Mark!

@nivid01 3 года назад

Yep, I found your video very useful and adjusted my radio similarly.

@HamRadioDX 3 года назад

Great! It makes it much easier to see signals. I was playing on 40m last night and could see lots of US stations easily whereas before I couldn't.

@maxs489 3 года назад

Hey, great video, Hayden! I had my 705 set up already almost exactly the way that you've got, with a couple of the numbers being off by one - I had even set up the exact same band edges. One main difference is that enable the 10sec max hold time. Having that signal peak ghost left there after someone stops transmitting somewhere else on the band helps me get right on frequency and ready for when they call again.

@HamRadioDX 3 года назад

That's a good tip Max. I think I might reestablish the max hold too as I did find it handy. Thanks for the comment glad to hear you're enjoying your radio too.

@ferdinandfrozenstein 2 года назад

The same here, I have started to use max hold...It stays there even when the waterfall rolls out. Fixed edges, or even better with scroll mode, it's actually an usable waterfall. Mamy stations need to learn here.

Just set my IC 7300 to these settings. Awesome thanks

@JaazznMaannn 3 года назад

Just godt my ic-9700 and I have set it up like yours and it works better, Thanks ;)

@HamRadioDX 3 года назад

Awesome stuff glad I could help

@f1gwr 3 года назад

The BIG problem is that Ref setting depends on a hudge amount on bandwith setting if we want the same background appearance. Would be wise ICOM relates both so that display is consistent.

@chrisreid9231 5 месяцев назад

Very helpful thanks. I think "EDGE" is now "SPAN" on the menu

@unoxunox4086 3 месяца назад

Thank you. I really would like the bandwidth of the filter on the waterfall. Linke on the web-sdr. Is this somehow possible?

@kpagan79 3 года назад

Great video. Just got an email that mine is "close" to shipping. Look forward to using your videos to get going. I may have missed it, but what type of antenna(s) are you using?

@HamRadioDX 3 года назад

Thanks Kevin. I'm using a End Fed Half Wave antenna for 80-10m (it tunes without a tuner on 80/40). I need to do a video on it as I need to tweak 20m a little better. On 6m/2m/70cm I'm using a Diamond V2000 vertical.

How did you stop the RF gain control from effecting the waterfall? KI5MEF

@Ei2iP 3 года назад

I've both 7300, 9700, mine are both CURRENT & LINE R-255, G-255, 0 and WATERFALL 255, 78, 12.

@HamRadioDX 3 года назад

I'll give that a try Robbie thanks!

@thork0tjt515 9 месяцев назад

Hmmmm…..all my settings are the same. But spectrum scope still not working. In fact, my n1mm stopped talking with the 7300 with those setting. I put everything back to the original settings and the radio and n1mm started talking again. But still no spectrum scope. Puzzled….

@dxscotland5901 3 года назад

I’ve not committed yet as still have concerns about stability on vhf using digital modes,have you tried it on ft8 vhf and if so is it stable?

@HamRadioDX 3 года назад

I plan on doing a stability video over the next few weeks

@dxscotland5901 3 года назад

Ham Radio DX great looking forward to it thanks for all your content 👍

@HamRadioDX 3 года назад

@feeatlastfeeatlast5283 3 года назад

I am a new 705 owner. How can the rig be useful in seeing weak signals (right near the noise floor as in vhf weak signal work) when the vertical range is 80 db? The display needs to be able to expand the range, to cover only 10-20 db vertically. I had hoped to see vhf tropo openings, or search for power line noise using the noise floor as an indication. Vy disappointed. Will probably sell.

@HamRadioDX 3 года назад

Use a software DSP waterfall instead

@bassmanjr100 5 месяцев назад

I prefer the blue background (not the black), removed the delay hold, and I like a nice light magenta color for the waveform line. Don't like the green.

@akcharlie1960 Год назад

What is the satellite icon on your screen?

@HamRadioDX Год назад

On the IC-705 it has a built in GPS receiver... the little satellite icon stops blinking once it acquires a lock and you can view your location, height, grid square from the radio screen plus output GPS timing from the USB if you need.

@akcharlie1960 Год назад

@@HamRadioDX Gotcha, thx.

@okhamradio 3 года назад

The very useful video

@HamRadioDX 3 года назад

Thanks!

@yenaurapourtoulmonde 3 года назад

The reference setting is the same for all spans. Gives different display results.This is just stupid! Should allow one REF per SPAN. Or a setting automatically changing with span.
