New Radio
Set the radio up the way you like it for PSK, and save the settings to an SD card. Set the radio up for voice, and again save the settings to an SD card. Now you can load either setup in its entirety

IC-7300 arrived today !
Congrats! I like my IC-7300 very much. All you need is a USB cable to go between the IC-7300 and the computer. The USB connection will appear as two devices: a sound card, and a USB/Serial converter.
