Help me fix my latest IC7000 failure
I'd go with the first one. I've heard of it, but I don't remember seeing one. It may be that I saw one and forgot about it, although we tend to remember the weird things and not the everyday. It's pos

I've got to tell you, in about 40 years in the electronics manufacturing industry including the last 25 working with chip components, I can't recall seeing a single shorted resistor. Congrats on findi

Current drain while off

Seen these Auto ATU's
Thanks Charles - at least I'm feeling more like it's not my Search Engine ability that got no results. I looked in several places. They'll tell you the component size range, but that's all I've found.

(I think I just hit a wrong button and got dumped - sorry if this is a dupe) Do those "ATU-100 mini tuners by N7DDC" have a claimed impedance range? You know, like the Icoms that have them have always

IC7000 - Signallink - JTDX/WSTJ
Just a note to agree with J.D. Barron. A few months ago, I went through setting up my station so that I could change between rigs very quickly - as in well under a minute. I'm blessed with three good

Do you use DXLab with your IC-7000? The reason I ask is that the video shows a much more capable rig for the demo, an IC-7800, and the Commander window shows the choice of IC-7800 and IC-9100. Those r

New Band Added?
The current brochure for the RS-BA1 in that link you sent doesn't have an IC-7000 that picture. I doesn't mention it. I know it's an obsolete product now, that probably has something to do with it not

I've been using HRD since it was Simon's shareware program in 2002. I switched over to automatic renewals last year. But, as I said, I've barely scratched the surface of trying to use it with my 7000.

I hadn't thought of that software, but are you sure it works with the 7000? There's a page of specific features and what radios they work with. There's no mention of the 7000 in that table. Bob

I can't answer your question, but it's along the lines of a problem I have. My IC-7000 is primarily for 2m and 70cm, but it's my backup rig for HF-6 also. The problem is that I use it so infrequently

First demo of the TFT Touch screen demo of the ATAS-100/120 Controller for ICOM
I couldn't see a link inline either, but I went to YouTube and searched on his call. This appears to be it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxo5KUfbVTE I hope this posts!

IC-7000 Audio Tests
At the 2007 Dayton Hamvention, Rob Sherwood of Sherwood Engineering, published a comparison of the performance of the IC-7000 to three other radios. The first place I ever saw this comparison was here

[IC-7000] Re: Indoor antenna suggestions
Tony, For listening, antennas are less critical. Just hang up a random length of wire. Yes, a tuned antenna like a dipole is better, but the losses aren't really significant. You'll hear plenty with s

Indoor antenna suggestions
Tony, A dipole will work well. The only disadvantage is that it's a not really a multi-band antenna. A 14 MHz dipole, won't work on 7 or 21, for example. If you have an external antenna tuner, you can

Repair Costs To Replace Finals?
Dave, I'm really sorry I can't answer your question, but I've got to ask. Do you have any idea how all 3 PAs got blown out? If there's any lessons worth learning here (don't ever xxxxx!) I'm all ears.

is this a good substitute for LMR-400 coax
I am not familiar with this brand of coax, but there is no way any run of 50 ohm coax of any kind should "fry" a 7000. The worst that will happen is it will be lossier. You could run RG-174 to your an
