I tried this as well. The first time I did it, I did a full reset, fortunately
I only had my call sign in, and it brought it back, but an hour or so later
more crashes.Welcome to the club! My first time posting here as well, I was on
the weekly net last night and it was suggested to try here, and I had forgotten
about this resource.Thanks & 73.Mark Triplett, K3MBCOn January 20, 2026, at

have already done this but just in case not; reset the radio to factory
default, load a good config file from past/reconfigure settings manually and
see if that make any good. I am a long time ham from canada here, brand new

transmission power are you running FT8 at? FT8 screams hard-- it'll max out
whatever amount you give it, unlike using voice and some other modes. So issues
with RFI/reflection will be accentuated. Does it work with lower transmission
powers? Does it happen on all bands?Best,FoxOn 1/20/26 07:40, Mark Triplett via

used Icom 7300, about 5 years old, that is experiencing random reboots when
using the digital modes such sa FT8. With alll standard radio modes, mainly
phone, there are no problems at all. When using FT8, and only during
transmission, it will randomly do a hard reboot. The radio worked flawlessly
for about 4-6 months after purchase and all this began.I’ve used different USB
cables, added bead ferrites, and most recently, I used some of the larger ring
type ferrites, like the FT240-3, all with the same type of results. Most times
it will work as expected for maybe an hour then start the reboots. Sometimes it
just won’t work at all and immediately reboot on the first transmission. I’ve
also used different computers and different operating systems. I’ve seemed to
have isolated it to the radio itself. And most likely the USB connector.I
download the service manual and determined that going in to reflow solder on
the connector for me is a no-go. The buried surface surface mount connector is
beyond what I’d care to work on. I’m not really interested in learning how to
rework with a air station on something like this.Before I box it up and ship
back to Icom for an expensive repair, and it’s of course, it’s out of warranty,
does anyone have any other things I can check before I do? I fear that’s my
only choice.Thanks!Mark
