Airband receive
Never even thought about it before but had a tune around the airband AM bands and the 7000 sounds quite nice, although was only using my 6 el Yagi pointed at Stansted Airport and on the approach frequ

SWR Spike on 6m
Been testing this at work over the weekend, the RF spikes are not just confined to 6m they are on HF as well, although the SWR spike is 6m only (will test again though but pretty sure it was only on 6

The RF Spike is evident on an external PEP meter as well, really surprised there hasnt been some sort of a fix documented for this, the radios work perfectly in every other way. Adrian G0KOM

Unfortunatley I dont have access to any test equipment, but I suspect there is an RF spike or some sort of overshoot as I tested the radio again tonight just for peace of mind and there is also a spik

The strangest thing is that the spike does not occur on SSB, only on FM and CW, albeit that maybe simply as they are full duty cycle modes. Adrian G0KOM

There is nothing external to the radios, direct coax to the antenna, the one thing I havent had a look at is to put a meter in line just to see if it agrees with what the 7000 meter is doing when it s

Just further. to this, tested two other 6m radios not IC-7000s and neither exhibit the issue so its definatley 100% IC-7000 related. Adrian G0KOM

IC-7000 erratic low power output on HF
Dont just pull them and put them back in, if you see a line across the blade fuse there is oxidisation on it, give it a clean, preferably with wire wool or something similar, happens to every IC-7000

As I said in the original post, offset is correct -600 and CTCSS tone is correct for my local repeater 110.9, have tried various filter widths in case it was something there but no go Adrian G0KOM

IC7000 tx audio
Doboli any idea if the Panasonic WM61A is similar to the WM61B, I cant find the B in the UK but plenty of the A, might have a go at modifying my HM-151 on my newly aquired IC-7000 Adrian G0KOM

Wanted IC-7000 to buy
Looking for an IC-7000 to take on a small DXpedition to ZC4 in a couple of months, preferably in the UK but anywhere considered even in the US, would prefer unmodified and not widebanded Adrian ZC4MK,
