In this video Jon G4ABQ sets up an SDRplay RSPdx as a panadapter/main station receiver for his ICOM-718 and Drake L7 Linear amplifier combination. By using an MFJ T/R switch the SDR is protected from the high power transmissions. This step by step video shows how to set up Omnirig software to ensure synchronised operation between SDR and transceiver.
