Re: Driver Board Replacement, adjustments required?

You can probably skip the drive
adjustments and maybe the power output adjustments but you absolutely need to
do the idle adjustment. You do need a special set up for the drive (not driver)
adjustment. For power out adjustments, all you need to do is saturate the
microphone with audio while adjusting the tuning dial.

Subject: [ic7000] Driver Board Replacement, adjustments required?
?
I have a couple of 7ks. ?A newer one works perfectly,
as far as I can tell. ?An older one has low output and the driver board is
suspect. ?I intend to replace the driver board - new parts and board are
on the way.?
My question: ?following the board installation, are the adjustments (as
recommended by Icom) necessary or optional? ?A Service Bulletin of
Feb/2010 outlines a multi step adjustment procedure requiring equipment I don’t
have - that’s the reason for this question. ?
I want to replace the board myself, I’m capable of doing that. ?But the
adjustments I cannot do without purchasing equipment at expense. ?
So, ?if the adjustments are necessary, then I might just as well replace
the board and send it to Icom to do the adjustments… may be cheaper than buying
new equipment.
Any thoughts or advice from this group?
Thank you for getting this far ….
