    Good afternoon Bas, very nice feature to add as FT8 is very popular. It would seem the IC 7610 has been left out in the cold on this update.

      Indeed Mike, that is strange. Not shure what they mean by "smooth FT8 operation". Very curious about it. So far my IC-7300 works very smooth on all modes including FT8. 73, Bas

    Hi Bas, looks like a 1 button press set-up for FT8.
    as long as you can customize it to your settings it will be useful.
    even though most ft8 software programs can control the radio when the mode is switched anyway!! seems a bit of a sales pitch for people who think its complicated...will probably work ...lol

      No Stu, it is from the IC-705. Anyway, I really don't know exactly what this FT8 button will do. I have made a preset in HRD that sets everything right (filters, nb/nr off, bandwidth etc.). Seems this is the same thing. 73, Bas
