Re: [IC-7000] I hear audio in the speaker when transmitting
Hi John,
I'm curious to know if the problem was ever resolved. As of yesterday my 10 year old 7000 just began having faint scratchy audio when I transmit on HF SSB, CW, and RTTY mode (more like a frying hiss) coming from the speaker, internal or external. The symptom goes away if I reduce the output power to around 50% or lower.? AM is OK, but I suspect the lower output doesn't trigger the noise.? No problem on VHF or UHF. ? For those who will comment... the faint scratchy audio and/or noise, depending on transmit mode, is there all the time, antenna or dummy load.? It's not RFI.? Ground is good, mic doesn't need to even be plugged in for it to happen on CW when keyed.

Noticed the following listing on ebay.?
ICOM - OPC-1444 Separation Cable for The Icom IC-7000 Transceiver.
I see that this seller Joslyn1980 has sold a few going by positive feedback.?
So anyone that's looking one.
This may be a place to get one if your stuck.?
Seller based in UK/Europe.?
Here's the link.?

Re: An auto tuner for my IC-7000
I've been using an it100 but..,,also damaged my rig three times !!!! Last years field day was the first id used it since the last repair and after 6 hrs or so, used on cw and/or rtty, it crapped out again, only about 15 to 20w out...it sat until recently when i emailed Matt at SAR in Michigan and he asked me call him....first thing he asked was am i using a LDG tuner....apparently the 7000 doesn't like the rapid switching and swr spikes caused by the tuner....debating whether to fix it again, or try to sell as is..,,receive is fine and vhf/uhf transmit fine, just very low output on hf....

Re: An auto tuner for my IC-7000
I use the Icom AT-180.? Works great and self tunes when you change frequencies or bands.? You can also MANUAL tune when desired. 73

Re: IC-7000 and LDG IT-100 ,trouble ?!?!?!
I have been using an IT-100 in my mobile setup for a few years. The radio has not blown up yet. ?
Low power is typically due to low DC voltage not SWR although above 1.5 the radio does cut back rather quickly. ?I run mine off a deep cycle battery which is charged from the vehicle electrical system through a Schottky diode so I don't quite get 13.8V and rarely get the full 100 W out.?

Re: IC-7000 and LDG IT-100 ,trouble ?!?!?!
I have an IC-7000 and I bought an LDG AT-200 PRO II this week.?
The tuner really acts erratic & now it's on it's way back to
the store from where I bought it.
I also noticed that the SWR varies way too fast during? a tune
cycle.? The tuner even wants to spend a long time trying
to tune a resonant antenna while
subjecting the 7000 to very high SWR.? The 2000 memories that the
LDG claims to have doesn't seem to work.? The tuner wants to tune
almost all the time.
Oh, when placing the tuner in bypass mode and using a dummy load
as the antenna the LDG's? LED SWR meter reads almost 2:1? while
the IC-7000 is seeing 1:1.
Good luck and I understand Matt at SARTS does excellent work.

My IC-7000 crapped out, again, at Field day last year, no
, or low power on HF, (don’t think it’s the fuse problem, as
the power cord is not fused, connects to a
rigrunner)...second time it happened. and Field day was the
first time back on the air after the other repair.....I was
talking to Matt at SARTS and he asked if by chance I was
using an LDG tuner, which I have been, both time it did this
, and he said for some reason the 7000 doesn’t like the LDG
tuner, that even though its on low power, when it does it
search the SWR varies too much too fast.....any one else
experience this.....the radio works fin on VHF/UHF, and
receives fine on HF, but only puts out about 15-20 watts or
so....Matt suspects it’s the finals, but the previous
repairs had something to do with the driver circuitry....

Re: An auto tuner for my IC-7000
Hello Marco,
I’d vote for the AH-4 or a SGC tuner, although it’s not one of you chocies.
Maybe a bit more $$, but very versatile and they work great, whether its a long wire, dipole, loop or vertical. Plug & play.
GL & 73,
Jeff/wb0m

Re: An auto tuner for my IC-7000
Hello,
AH-4 need a command wire.
To answer to the question, i prefer a wellknow Smartuner SG230.
Much expansive but better quality.
I use mine for 20 years like you can see on qrz.com.
(long wire before and now loop)
Best regards,
Ludovic - F5PBG.

The IT-100 requires that you tune it with the front button or the tune button on the radio, it is not fully automatic.? That is not really evident from the description.? The 100 or 200 Pro II are automatic.

The one that is produced for that rig - the IT-100. I also use the paired tuner for an 897.

HI,
I would like to purchase an automatic tuner for my 7k. I have selected the MFJ-939I and the MFJ-993B.
?I would prefer the latter, as it is way more versatile. However, as far as I have understood, when I change frequency, the 939I tunes up without the need to push the "tune" button, while the 993B requires button pushing.
Have I understood well??
Any recommendations for a good tuner?

?The first question should always be what types of antennas are you using?? Any thing else we should be aware of about your installation (mobile, second floor shack with poor RF ground, switching among different antennas on the same band, etc.) ?? ? Some tuners work OK with some antennas and don't work at all with others.... I would avoid MFJ, due to continuing erratic quality control problems. Steve, W3AHL

I have one I would sell. It was a recovery project and is restored to full capability with a new processor. Includes mounting bracket, separation cable, mic. One always worries a bit when the 7000 has been opened up and especially when it has had major surgery like this one. But it works perfectly on all bands. $600 including shipping. Only selling because I have similarly restored IC-7100 and IC-706 and normally use an RS-HFIQ SDR for air so the 7000 is redundant.
