Greetings! Mobile set up. Pics can be seen on my QRZ page. Radio is mounted underneath the driver side back seat. My issue is that whenever I have the TFT monitor turned on it attenuates the VHF/UHF r

I have had my 7000 for many years with no failures. I mostly run it mobile so no high duty cycle digital, but I have used it for field day and things like that. It does get warm and it is somewhat fin

I'd be interested in comments from those with experience etc if choosing between either of these radios used (the 450 has the internal ATU fitted). Which one do you prefer and why? Is there a clear wi

REALLY, 8 AWG WIRE IF OVER 4'? Maybe if your trying a 40' separation of radio from battery! I use the standard supplied cables and a MFJ-4416 booster and it gives my IC-7k 13.8 VDC until the battery d

I agree the IC7000 is no more sensitive to voltage than any other radio I've tested. If you're having problems then it's most likely in your power wiring. By the way, Icom got screwed by a vendor who

Boeshield is awesome stuff. Lee Valley sells it; if you have any kind of problems with corrosion, a little spray of Boeshield protects just about any kind of metal. Looooove it. Here is a link to Lee
