Very interested in your rig let me know

How do you think I learned that lesson? It was a Kenwood TS-480 with the polarity reversed. But in my case I made the mistake of flipping the DC cable polarity at the fuses themselves. Because there

Thanks Mark, you are right as well.? PN junctions do not forgive mistakes... 73 de Raoul CE3RY

Thanks Danny, you are right. I should have had a fuse in the line... but it was an extension cable and I was in a hurry... etc etc. Quite a chain of mistakes! One never stops learning... and one never

Hi , I am having an icom ic7000 ,relay click error radio ,with an extra CPU, let me know any members need as parts ,I can give as a whole radio with DC cable and microphone,or as individual spare

A thought: There's probably a backup battery (small lithium "coin cell", most likely) in the IC-7000. If that was weak, it would affect the timekeeping _when the radio was powered off_. I don't

I've seen radios with a reverse diode used as a crowbar on the DC input (Kenwood TS-480 for example) that will protect the radio in the event of revers polarity and it will get real hot if the fuse

PN junctions blow faster than any fuse.

It's important to have a fuse in line and the fuse value must be less than the max current of the power supply to ensure it will blow on a complete short. 73 Danny, K5CG HH 550-000-0609 SKCC

Hi Team, A few days ago, I connected my IC-7K to the PS using an extension cable, not noticing I was reversing the polarity. A few seconds later, I felt a smell coming from somewhere and I

Thanks Paul.

Regarding the clock battery in IC-7000 logic units, I tried to order some from Icom a few months back. On backorder with no ETA. I believe I ordered a couple from Mouser. Take a look at

I'll give the rig a couple of days being on and see what happens. Thanks for the heads up. I'll post my results. Ed

Ed, Paul is correct. The clock battery is probably shot. I just checked my notes and my 7000 was keeping poor time a few?years back. Sorry, my memory isn't what is used to be.? The battery is a

Thanks Paul. I'll give it a check. 73, ED KE6SU

IC-7000’s have a small clock battery inside the logic unit. It’s just a tiny bit larger than the one in the 7300 and it does not last forever. It’s very unlikely the clock chip itself has gone

Steve, Thanks for the reply. The radio is one of my home radios and is cycled off every evening. I bought it in 2013. I'm not sure that's it's worth replacing the chip. Again thanks. Ed KE6SU

That's terrible time keeping accuracy. My 7000 only drifts seconds per month but it lives in stable temperature environment in my shack. The 7000 uses an Epson time keeping chip with an onboard

Is there any way to improve the accuracy? In a 24 hour period it loses about a minute. Ed KE6SU

This is good to know. Thank you. I am wondering why my 6 pin Mini-DIN is not working with this cable as it works on other radios. Chris KQ6UP
