The device listed at amazon here will NOT work. It requires a VGA input. Right there in the description...

VGA To RCA Adapter

As others have already mentioned, a TV with a composite input is the simplest solution, otherwise you'll need a converter from Composite to whatever your monitor has for inputs.

For example, Composite to VGA...

Subject: [ic7000] connecting external monitor

Hi all,

I'm hoping to connect a small external monitor (6" or 7").

It looks like the 3.5mm female plug on the back of the 7000 would feed to a typical yellow RCA plug.

I saw this box which looks like it would do the trick, since I did not find an adapter online.

If you're using a different type of hookup please email me.

On a separate note, it appears the shield for the 60m diode mod to open up the band is securely fastened to the board.

Does anyone know if there is a trick or workaround to removing it to get to the SMT diode to remove it?

At this point I'm afraid to proceed for fear of cracking the traces if the board bends too far.
