I'm sorry I don't own a 7700 so I can't be of much help with this but I have
been able to get all my other ICOM HF radios that have CI-V ports to work with
WSJT-x via various USB to CI-V converters. I have never used the ICOM level
converter so I can't comment regarding that approach.
According to a brochure I found on the Internet the 7700 has a CI-V port but I
haven't looked at the manual re this.
73 and good luck.
