George - I had almost an identical problem - low power output on the lower
frequencies, plus distorted audio on the lower frequencies on SSB. I sent
the radio to Icom and they replaced one of the final devices which was
"leaky" (their words). Radio works fine now.

Subject: Re: [IC-7000] Strange issues with output power
I should point out that I have done a full reset (power up plus band up and
band down). The radio is powered by a 50 amp 13.8 volt power supply - I am
aware that the rig is sensitive to voltage changes (I've used it on
batteries) - This is a fault, but not the PA. I guess something like a relay
stuck in the LPF or a capacitor has died?
The fact the radio will do 95 watts on 10 metres implies it's fine.
Any advice greatly received.
George, M1GEO.
