Re: Driver board
Hi all, I've attached a picture of the burned and new driver boards. There
is a 1 ohm resistor on both. I hope the picture isn't
too large for groupsIO.

Re: Driver board
Congratulations on successfully replacing the driver board in your IC-7000. Replacing those flex cables from the PA to the MAIN is a real challenge.
Now for the reason I’m jumping in on this.

Re: Driver board
That sounds like a good idea. My 746 has a fan on it 100% of the time.

I have my IC-7000 body under the backseat in the factory storage tray.? As I mostly operate my radio when parked (don't want to run the engine) I use a 100Ah LiFePO4 battery - I get hours and hours

Re: Driver board
Got it done. Full power out on all bands. Old board burned. There was no

Re: Driver board
Richard, That sounds great. I'm an electronics cooling nut. I have extra
fans, or stronger fans on just about everything. I have an Icom 746 with a

Re: Driver board
Hi Bob
The 7000 notoriously runs hot. I have had mine for over 10 years and like a Timex watch it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I keep a small fan blowing from the back

Re: Driver board
Geoff, Thank you. I'll start on the radio Monday USA eastern time. I don't
know if the new board has the resistor or not but maybe I can add one if it

Re: Driver board
Hi Bob,
The driver pcb is not too difficult to get out and you will see the signs if it was the cause of the smoke. If your new driver board has the new resistor fitted you're good to go. But you

Driver board
Hello, I just joined this group. I do not have a 7000 but am going to work
on one for a friend. It let the smoke out so by reading it's a very good
possibility that it's the driver board. My friend

Re: Hf power out barely detectable
Yes I have tried all modes on hf with no success. The driver should be
good since vhf and uhf work correctly. I have ordered new finals so we
will see if that corrects the problem.
Thanks for your

Hf power out barely detectable
I purchased a 7K with no power out on hf. ?Vhf/uhf are good. ?Receiver is in excellent condition. ?I have set the driver and finals bias and are good. ?Gate voltage of the finals measures 2.4V.
