Frustration seems to be a part of the ham radio hobby. Finding a solution to a problem has been the reward. I've been a ham for over 50 years now and I can't even start to count the times I've thought

Look at www.remoterig.com for the RC-1258 devices. These _may_ work with the IC-7000 as they do work with the IC-7100. I would check with the manufacturer. I use two setups of these, one with an IC-70

Interesting thread here: 73, Joe, K1ike

True, but the biggest 7100 group is just over 100 members, vs over 6000 members in this group. I personally don't mind the off topic emails, I just wish that the author would put OT in the Subject lin

Although I don't think this is your particular problem, I have seen instances that a receiver can be desensed by static buildup on the antenna during storms and cold dry windy days. Is the problem wea

Hello to All, Our club has been asked to sell an IC-7000 station for an long time club member. We are trying to get some non-biased opinions on it's value. The equipment is: IC7000 Ser# 0509837AT180 T

I listed most in the original email. Stock hand mike, I don't know if there is a manual, RMK7000 kit. What's a mic mod? Joe

This is an especially good suggestion if you also use your computer for other everyday use. The external Signalink, Rigblaster, or any other external sound card will allow you to configure the audio f

You can use the mike jack and speaker jack to connect the radio to the computer. You should use some sort of isolation, such as transformers. I am at the same juncture that you are at setting up a dig

That is a nice device, but it requires a POTS wired telephone line to work. The advantage to the device you describe is that you can do control over a basic telephone instrument. The remote power mana

Because sometimes a tuner IS the answer. Most hams don't have the real estate or the supporting structures to install a resonant antenna with no reactance.?? Antenna tuners have been around before mos

The MFJ-4119 would be a better choice. 1-450MHz.

I have two R7000 receivers here and one had a display problem. All dots. I left it plugged in and on for a week and now the display works fine. Probably a bad capacitor(s) that got somewhat "reformed"

I think this question might originate from CB radio days where the mike had to be plugged in for the radio to work? I seem to remember some AM CB sets that required the mike to be plugged in because t

The choice of PL tones across the USA can be a result of necessity from years ago. Most repeaters began as carrier squelch mode, or in other words no PL tone. As PL became more popular in repeaters it
