Marsh,
I followed the FB newsletter for setting up my ICOM7610 for FT8 using USB-D2
mode for WSJT-X.....
Link to this FB newsletter
https://www.fbnews.jp/201712/technical_en/
As you will read in this newsletter the only difference for setup on 7851 and
7610 is ICOM code for these two radios.
I have used this info for good FT8 operations for past 2 years.
73’s
