I am so sorry to hear this and I hope you can get your rig repaired. If you have a PayPal account, I would be glad to send you some money to help with the cost. Phil, N6OMM

I am very sad at this moment! I just saw smoke coming out of my icom IC-7000, now I have no HF radio in my mobile. I'd have to ship it back to the U.S. to have it repaired and shipped back to Jamaica

Ted - I just did the mod on mine this past week. Indeed, not all the diodes were in place when I opened up the rig, but D2172 was there. These diodes turn on/off different frequency ranges depending

Mine works on 60 meters. C. Richard Pumphrey

What doesn't work? The 2012 Icom 60M mod that remove D2172 to allow the new channel (the mod actually allows the whole band, not just one new channel) or you can't use the new channel because your

In 2012 the FCC changed channel allocations for Amateur Radio use of 60M, removing 5366.5 KHz and adding 5357.0 KHz. If your radio was produced after that change was made, it would have shipped from

I was confused as well. I've been using 60m SSB and PSK for a few months. I just put the channels in memory and have had no issues transmitting. Brent, W5GAS

I'm puzzled. I have been using my 7000 on 60 meters for some time and I never did any mod. I loaded the correct frequencies into the memories so I don't have to find them and there it is. No

Just a long shot - I have similar wandering signals on MT63 and PSK31 - fortunately narrow and low enough amplitude to ignore. Seem to be related to the switching frequency of

Just remove D2172 per the instructions. The diagram in the 60M mod document shows parts that aren't really installed in US versions. You'll be fine. Steve, W3AHL ---In ic7000@..., <w3vgted@...>

I have posted this before. Thought I would check to see if anyone else is having the same problem before sending it back to ICOM for repairs. I am gettng a freerunning oscillation that moves back and

My thoughts are that the parts are very tiny and this is very very close work. C. Richard Pumphrey

I was thinking of installing my 7000 in the vehicle but saw the post about a needed mod to open 60 meters so the changed channel would work. I took the rig apart and find the

Try sending it to Matt at Icom in Michigan. Here is their website http://sarts1.com. Excellent repair work and customer service. Far better than Icom in Kalifornia. Paul

Did that, the oscillation increases considerably. The agc is pulling up some amplifier. Conversely, when connected to an antenna, activating the preamp the intensity of the oscillation decreases.

Try connecting a 50 ohm dummy load and see if the signal is still there. From: "James Brock jamesbrock@... [ic7000]" To: "IC7000@..." Sent: Thursday, February 9, 2017 4:16 AM Subject:

Sent the IC7000 into ICOM for repairs and it came back the same. I operate mostely on jt65 and can see a carrier running through the bandpass. It is somehow associated with the AGC. When the

I replaced the 5 amp fuse behind the control head and now it powers up. However, I am unable to write any data to the radio. Although, in error, I was able to write an empty codeplug, without the
