Too expensive and would

Re: IC-7000 corrupted eeprom
Hi James..
I knew suggesting removing the backup battery was a long shot as eeproms don't need them.. but it is a mystery what has happened to your 7000 so anything is worth trying in this case.

Re: IC-7000 corrupted eeprom
Hi Steve
I understand what you are saying but anything is worth a shot even if the probability is very low.
There must be more to the eeprom data than what the manual is stating and the only device

Re: IC-7000 corrupted eeprom
I'm puzzled by this comment.
On Page 137 of my instruction manual (A-6462H-1EX-q? ? 2005 Icom Inc.), it states:
*All of the CPU’s memory is backed up by an EEPROM*

Hi Tony
all the best for the new year to all in this forum.
I thought that returning the logic board to my radio would have returned it to previous personality but not the case.

Re: IC-7000 corrupted eeprom
If this was the case James wouldn't your Main board have written it back to it's own personality..?
You didn't sday if you'd done a hard reset.
Another thing to do is remove the backup battery and

Re: Overheating during a contest
I've never had a heat issue on my 2011 era IC-7000, but that's most likely because I do not do a lot of continuous duty/digital modes on it for any extended time periods. I also have it feeding an

Re: Overheating during a contest
I added two really small fans to the back of the radio? glued to the rear heatsinks.

Re: Overheating during a contest
I've added two TO-3 heat sinks to the left side of my IC 7000 to keep the DSP section much cooler.
You could do the same on the right side to help keep the PAs cool.
I had to file the TO-3 holes a

Re: Overheating during a contest
My 7000 has always tended to run hot but I built up a pair of 12v fans with a standalone bracket to maintain a decent supply of cooling air.
Have always used this and have never had the driver issue

Overheating during a contest
This fall, I was participating in the WA QSO party (Salmon Run) on CW. The 2nd day, 4 hr before time was up, I was running (as opposed to search and pounce) on 15 and 10M. The 7000 was at full power,

Re: IC-7000 corrupted eeprom

Not sure if you have put one of your 7000 boards inside a Japanese 7000 permanently but there is a diode matrix in the 7000 just like most modern transceivers so

Re: IC-7000 corrupted eeprom
Hi Mark
No it didn't have those features.
If anyone has a faulty logic board that is not from a Japanese radio I may be able to read the contents of the eeprom to make a comparison .
There are 256kb
