IF you are a digital **** and like to listen/do the 75m nets at night, here is a way for you to do both at the same time.
I am running a 6300 with a laptop AND a maestro. I also have a separate RX antenna hooked up to the transverter port.
Note you can do this with two laptops, a laptop and an iPAd, and a Mastro. The idea is that you have two completely separate ways to access your radio on the desk and you have a separate RX antenna.
On your digital station operate as normal, except click the FDX icon on the bottom. This enables full duplex.
Now on the second device ( a maestro in my case) operate however you want to. Make sure that you tune on both sides or use a resonant TX antenna.
Now you can operate both at the same time and when transmitting the other console will only be affected if you are on a harmonic or too close to the transmitted signal.
I have found that I can even do digital on 20 and operate on the other side of 20 with tolerable interference. When on separate bands things just work.
Usually, I am running **** or on rare occasions FT8 on 40/80 while hanging out with the guys on 3.916 at night.
I can not wait for the software to stabilize.

Curious, please describe how you set transverter settings for this. I suspect you put transverter on 75m and set offset to 0 (zero), is that correct (away from radio, otherwise I'd just try it)...1

How are you running FDX on a 6300 ? Thought you needed a 6600 or 6700 to do FDX ?

I have the RX antenna set up as outlined in another message in this thread, running multiple consoles ( multiFlex) ( Smart SDR for digital on laptop) and a maestro for ragchewing.
Working fine on a 6300.

I think you may be able to do the same thing by just selecting XVTR for the RX Antenna (without setting up a XVTR). Does this not work for you David?0
