I'll post some screens shots here because a picture is worth a thousand words. Many items in the Connectors menu are similar though. There are just more sub menu's than the 7300. The 7610's menu is a little daunting at first, but it is similar to the Icom 7300. Plug the cable into the USB 2.0 port, not the USB 3.0 (blue) port on the back of the rig.
When attaching the USB cable have the software driver installed first. I'm using two cables as with the 7300 while operating, but I'll show using just the USB cable and that works FB as well. This time when connecting you'll have two virtual COM ports, A and B. I suggest doing that first, before connecting the USB cable. I decided to download the driver and reinstall it. Icom 7610 Cables and Software DriverĮven though the IC-7300 and the IC-7610 uses the same downloaded driver from Icom, it is an updated driver with a driver date of 5. Just like the IC-7300, works right out of the box! See the first video on my Icom 7610: Icom 7610 First QSO. First impression: It's a beautiful radio, good size, and has a vastly improved LCD touchscreen.
