Icom 7000. Digirig

I’m new to Digirig.

I’m setting up my Icom 7000. I’m not getting any readings on VARA FM VU meter. When I use Auto tune, it keys the transmitter. The settings are the same as my Icom 9700 that doesn’t need a sound card. I am using the suggested Digirig cables.

Do I need to preform the circuit board modifications?

I can’t figure it out after weeks of trying. Very frustrating.

Thank you

What was your result with “listen” feature of the recording device for FM? Anything different when doing that on HF?
