Bill, I don't have any experience with the AT-180, but most autotuners tend to act strange when switched among a variety of antennas. There doesn't seem to be much band overlap in your setup, unless

I use my 7k at 50% when using FM, or less, depending on the repeater. Most of the area repeaters only take a watt or so. Remember that FM is 100% duty cycle, and most repeaters don't take much to key.

Guess I've been lucky. I bought my '7000 new in September 2008 (sn 0510369) and it still works great. I do keep a small computer fan blowing air softly across the heat sink, as it can get 'toasty' at

Hi Milo, I perfectly agree with you, time is important. But sometimes it's good to try, at least. Last month I repaired a power supply damaged with the same lightning that damaged the radio, and I

Thanks Ivan, I appreciate your suggestions. I posted that question exactly to know if it can be good or not to repair it. I asked to the service here in Italy and they gave me the radio back saying

For sure at least two boards have been damaged by a lightning. One is the RF unit, the one facing the lower cover. Another one is the small board with the KEY, ACC and DATA connectors. By visible

Milo, I bought the radio in February 2013. I do run 100% power during SSB and CW contests, and no more than 40% on digital. I vary how much power I use when not in contests, and find that 70% is

Steve, The first failure was most likely caused by a short in a jumper between the IC-7000 and my AT-180 tuner. I have been meticulous about checking all of my feedlines since then, whether homebrew

Francesco, Take Ivan's advice. Trust me, you don't want to have to replace a board on your own. I can almost guarantee it would not be available, unless it was on the black market somehow. In which

Agreed, Milo! Sometimes I feel my old vacum tube powered radio is just like a lit 5W lamp, compared to the 7k. I can’t say I use that much my 7k, but, I can feel it very hot after 30 minutes at 50%

Hi Bill, Just curious how long (over all, not that session) you have been using it, and if you were running full power, or close to it. It has always been my opinion, not shared by all I might add,

Hello, my IC-7000 died because a ES discharge. The guy of the service said me to not repair it but I'd like to try by myself. So, does anybody know where to find spare parts of IC-7000? I mean not the

With three failures in a year, I would look if there is something about your installation that could be a problem. The common problems in my experience are: Intermittent shorts or opens in feed lines.

I previously had the HF pre-amp FETs short out. ICOM was good about fixing that quickly, as well as replacing a "noisy fan" (? - never noticed it). Second time I sent it in for what I was considering

Welcome to the club :-) When it happened to me, I sent it off to the local ICOM distributor, who repaired it under warranty and promptly returned it to me with no hassles. It is disappointing that the
