The answer is that you won't have any problems. No need to have it plugged into power. I have left mine unused for periods of 8 months or more in between DXpeditions. 73, Kurt, W6PH

I have room on a shelf in my shop, if you need a place to store it.

Well, no problem, Chuck.

Mine has a temperature-climate controlled, curator-grade environment, with other radios to keep it company, yeah, yeah, that's the ticket, and, and, and...a grandfatherly figure Radiola 18 to tell it bedtime stories from back in the day. And we have another newcomer, a Victrola VV-220. So, the IC-7K won't feel like the only "new kid." Top that! :) Have a great evening! Larry K5END

I'm sorry that you've had such trouble with your IC-7000's installation! A seperate power supply (in this case, a battery) might help with the noise issue.
As for keeping your radio company, I can do that in my car. Your radio would have lots of freinds!!

I have already tried a separate battery. The noise is radiated, not

conducted. Just touching the center conductor of the coax (and I have tried several types, including, LMR400, RG8, RG8X, RG58A/U, etc) to the radio causes noise so bad that I can't hear anything else (but only with the engine running). Oh well. I appreciate all the offers, but the original question stands. Will I have problems if I shelve the radio without power connected or do I need to leave the radio plugged into power for the duration?

That's too bad. I guess you would need to find out what is radiating the noise... is it ingnition, or the engine computer, or a fuel pump, or ????
In my Ford Explorer, I have put one of those big multi-magnet mounts with a hamstick on the roof, laid my IC7K on the seat, and plugged it into my power pole junction box and it works great. Usually run 40m when I do HF mobile. Mark

If you use a petrol engine (not diesel) besides the usual alternator, ignition coil and other 12v electric(a/c fan motor) suppression, check that your ignition leads to the spark plugs are the spiral core wound hi rf suppression type. This was an issue for me, and replacing these to suitable type solved my problem. vk4tux

Borrow a spectrum analyzer to see what i s going on with respect to RF being radiated from the car's electronics.

No shielded wiring on a vehicle's interconnecting cables is the normal state of affairs today . My 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee emits 6M garbage when it is not running When the driver's door is opened it emits more garbage. The 6 ignition coil packs radiate too. I seriously believe the auto makers do not want your 20 amp power cable for your HF rig running next to their wire bundles for fear of induction into their cables to screwing up some microprocessor function that disables the vehicle. They are covering their own butts. Some shielding and bypassing on the manufacturer's part could go a long way to keeping vehicle reliability high and RF susceptibility LOW. Ask a truck driver how noisy his diesel engine is today with all the microprocessor garbage on it. Its no wonder they need their 27 mhz amplifiers to hear each other down the road a few miles. Try a new Corvette on HF ! I had a 1990 VW Scirocco that was absolutley quiet on HF except for a tiny bit of ignition noise. Progress is wonderful. Welcome to the Future ! To: ic7000@...
