I found this online. I can't verify since I don't own a 7300.

PTT Method: CAT
Mode: Data/PKT
Split operation: Rig

WSJT-X Audio tab

Input/Output set to the 7300's USB device

Mac OS Settings

Applications->Utilities->Audio Midi Setup->USB Audio Codec 1: Left/Right both set to approximately -9.0db, adjust as needed while monitoring ALC levels on the rig. ALC should be at about 1/2 to 3/4 while transmitting. Some experimentation and outside verification (Web SDRs?) needed to make sure you're not overdriving the audio.
