The IT-100 when connected via the tuning cable sets the output power to 10 watts while tuning via the tune button. Granted, it is possible to tune at full power manually. While not a perfect solution,

The driver board is a definite weak spot. I've blown a couple up over the years. The best solution I have found is to always use a good auto tuner like the LDG IT-100, even when using a resonate anten

That's probably best, and Chirp may work for you using the rt cable. Some usb/rs232 cables used a cloned chip set that is not compatible with current drivers, and windows hates old drivers. Usb cables

I haven't tried this but, (I love advise that starts this way. :) ) Have you tried saving one or two frequencies to the ic-7000 memory and then uploading to Chirp? It is also possible that you have a

The civ cable is not needed to use the signalink. It does provide frequency data and control of the 7000 from the computer for programs. The signaling is the audio interface. Connect the civ cable dir

By design, it is supposed to reduce output power, however... My experience has been that at high power levels, it will blow the driver transistor. To help avoid an expensive repair, reduce power to 10

Tom, I am just another member of this group, so I have no control other than what I choose to post, and what I choose to read or ignore. The mask post was, I believe, Spam. Did not read any further th

CHIRP is my preference. Open source, multi platform, multi radio. Here's the link: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home

Ftdi is just a different chipset (interface hardware) and driver (software) than prolific. Since you're using the Icom cable, it's probably not the issue, but maybe the driver from icom is not support

If your interface cable is trying to use a "prolific" driver, that may be the problem. There were so many cloned/pirated driver chips in use that Prolific changed their coding. Your best bet is to fin

Bob I believe your issue is that Hsend and Vsend are on different pins on the 13 pin connector. Hsend is on pin 3, Vsend is on pin 7. They are two different transistor FET? Switches. Makes sense, as t
