The latest firmware for several Icom rigs has a dedicated FT8 button. And
my new IC-705 is seen by the PC as a sound device so no need for any
external equipment or excess cabling - one USB cable does CAT and audio.
https://www.icomjapan.com/support/firmware_driver/3220/The mcHF and a few other rigs have been doing it this way for years.
I'm still - and always will be - mostly a CW op but I appreciate FT8 from
time to time to run in the background on a "dead" band. It can be an
eye-opener.
