+====== IC-7300 Low Receive Signal Strength ======
+When I use JS8Call with my IC-7300, I sometimes lower the RF gain so that the program receives the right signal levels.  But when I switch back to analog, I sometimes forget to move it back up.  Today during the net, I found some of the signal reports were pretty asymmetrical and I wondered if something similar might be happening to other people.
+So here are two ways to lower the receive signal strength on the IC-7300:
+===== Baseline =====
+With everything adjusted properly, my noise floor was S2:

+===== RF/SQL =====
+When ''RFG'' is displayed on the screen, it means the ''RF/SQL'' nob is too far to the left.  See [[https://mans.io/files/viewer/529465/32 |p. 3-10 of the manual]] for more details.

+===== Attenuator =====
+When ''ATT'' is displayed on the screen, it means the attenuator is on.  Press the ''P.AMP ATT'' button to turn it off.  See [[https://mans.io/files/viewer/529465/37 |p.4-3 of the manual]] for more details.
