The "L" in LCD display is liquid. ?They can freeze which can damage the display. Keep the shack above freezing and you should be OK.

I¡¯d be a bit concerned that after a day or so of very cold temperatures, a sudden warm humid day might result in condensation inside the cabinet.

Re: [IC-7000] Cold Shack - Any Concerns?
Temperature cycling is always a potential issue. You could always leave the radio running, which minimises the cycling.

Regardless what speaker you choose, try it in different locations in the vehicle before you mount it permanently.? You will be surprised how physical location affects the sound.? Even a small

Re: [IC-7000] Re: running hot.
Haven't had an issue. Mine runs warm, but not excessively hot. The one in the shack has run 24x7 for most of the past few years.

Re: [IC-7000] FM flickering green recieve light
If you have the default setup, the knob behind the volume is the squelch in FM and RF gain for other modes

Re: [IC-7000] Re: running hot.
I don't know where you are, but mine has a 1 year warranty from Icom, and
an added 2 year warranty from the merchant. Should allow me to "burn it in"
in that time! Many shops allow you a certain time

Just to clarify: The FET on the small board is the driver (Q504). The pre-drivers are Q101, Q102. The first adjustment in section 4-4 sets the Driver idle bias. The remaining steps adjust the PA

I was operating the IC7000 on my desk when it emitted smoke. I quickly turned off and opened up to investigate. I confirmed that the pre-driver board was blackened, which according to web searches

Re: [IC-7000] Mobile speaker
That's what I run mobile (1 for my 7000 and 1 for my 8800). I use the
unamplified one and it will handle 12W of audio, it is very loud and very
clear. You can pick them up unused for $5 or so at

Re: FM flickering green recieve light
As I remember it, the IC-7000 has a default setting which makes the "RF GAIN / SQL" knob act as an RF Gain knob in CW/SSB mode, and as a _squelch_ knob in FM mode.
